I don't think quality has anything to do with. It will just burn faster at 24x than 8x.

burning speed has nothing to do with quality; it might seem logica,l but w/ computers it's not.
it's like saying if i have a slow computer that loads an image in 30 mins and another computer that does it in 3secs; the quality would be better. |

^ Haha, I think you meant to say the burning quality wouldn't be better, right?

Well my CD burner messes up the CD if the speed is above 8x... like, the CD will play really fast...
so, for me, slower = better quality |

burning at a slower speed just reduces the chance of an error.

Usually burning at a slower speed is only for when you Burn DVD discs, but i burn at 52x and 24x with no problem =]

It's better to burn at lower speeds.
It reduces risk, and it actually does improve quality in some cases. Especially if you are burning movies/videos. Same with music. |

When I burn over 16x for music CDs they skip very easily.

its way better to use slower speeds more data closer together then 52x where it pretty much just throws it on faster = better chance of skipping

if you pc burns cd's slow, it because ur burner is slow. nothing to do with cd quality. in some cases it could be. but you have to change your setting most times for that. if you buy a brand new cd burner, and it writes slow... then u just have a slow burner.

when you burn at a fast speed most likely something will happen to the CD that will stop it from working right. just to be safe, always burn at the second highest you can do

Obviously there's a reason to burn it at a slower or faster speed if it's an option.
But if you chose the slower one, I'm sure your computer has less risk of freezing up or something. |

Less risk of what's known as a "buffer underrun error," in which the data coming off the hard drive basically can't keep up with the data being written to the CD. |
