  • Ritek’s 32x CD-R media entering volume production in October
    Though 32x CD-RW burners have not entered into volume production yet, CD-R manufacturers are already rolling out 32x speed discs. But since 16x speed is the mainstream of the CD-RW market, initial production capacity will not be large. Ritek also added that 24x CD-R discs have lower compatibility with low-speed CD-RW burners. When used with low-speed burners, especially 2x, the burning process often failes. The 32x media can solve this problem...
CloneAudioProtector CD Tools
CloneAudioProtector (CAP) is a CD tool which is able to protect audio CDs. CloneCD 2.x/3.x is used to create a CD-Image which is then modified using CAP. It is compatible with Win9x, WinME, Win2K & WinXP and comes in 4 selectable languages (English, Italian, German & Spanish).

Two types of protections (separate or combined) can be used to protect the CD:

  • SYS Protection
  • Cactus Data Shield

The 2 protections can be added to the CD at 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds before the end of the CD.

Thanks MoD-CHiP/SpN DeV for sending & creating CAP!
