spaces between the tracks that you get with Windows Media Player?

How can I backup data and preserve for a lifetime?

Are music cdr's good for data too or just good for makin' music?
Thanks

one expect from music or data CD-Rs that have been treated

afterwards, errors developed on the second half of the CD, then errors
developed from first track on.  Now about 12 hours later, Computer

I have a Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-RW.  I used Easy CD
Creator 5.3.0.107 to write some files to it (closed
session, without closing CD).  The CD cover says 2x-4x,

only 4x. Is there a way of forcing Nero to display all the speeds and not

want to give it a shot if possible at all.
