The medium seem to work with Toast 5 for OSX consistently but itunes takes forever. If I burn 65 minutes to CD Toast will do it in about 35 minutes at 2X speed but itunes take it sweet time at 1.5 hours even at 4X speed. I am using the largest buffer. I am using a 450 Cube with 1 gig RAM and my burner is a USB Lacie 4X CDRW (fully supported in OSX itunes and Apple CD burn program). >> Not sure what you're doing wrong. I use Toast Titanium (5, I think) and it burns a disk pretty consistently (i failure in thirty disks or so) in about 20 minutes at 4x. 80minute disk. I have a 450 cube with a lot less memory than you have, so I have to think it's something in the software. I use an Iomega disk burner, FWIW. Jack
