Comments on: 100 Generations CD-R Test http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/2004/02/100_generations.html Amazingly informed & therefore properly opinionated.

If you try this with audio using Nero my bet you’ll have your failure very soon as Nero doesn’t burn 1:1 audio. The only program could do so is EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Second even then you could have a failure if you don’t set your offset of the drive. Also you need to extract the audio first from the disc so if there are read errors you know where. Cleaning a disc before burning helps :D

Actually, the results didn’t surprise me. He wasn’t pushing CD-R limits with any of the drives (no 48x writes, for example)…

But it’s good to see some confirmation.

I’ve actually seen claims in the high-end audio field that a CD-R copy of a (pressed) audio CD could actually be better than the original, because of lower jitter factors. The suggestion makes me nervous…particularly since it would still be a bit-identical copy.
