Just my 2cv...
They're probably burning the CDs at 4-speed, disk-at-once, and although
disk-at-once is supposed to be red-book audio standard, they invariably
f--k up. And if disk-at-once wasn't bad enough, 4-speed writing is even
worse.
If they burned the CDs at 2-speed, they'd probably save about a month per
CD. :-)
For the record, the CDs I've burned at 2-speed, with a normal close-session
(2-second gap at the end of each track - not disk-at-once) have played on
everything I've tried them on - a handheld CD-player, 2 CD-ROM drives, a
13-year old CD-player, and I've even lent a few CDs out, and no-one has had
any trouble playing 'em.
So CDuctive's main concept isn't flawed - successfully-burned CD-R's are
one of the most reliable things I've used - but their execution is poor.
