Erasables are good for only a limited number of cycles. Although that's
nominally 1000, experience says that it's much less. Regardless, there's
a tendency (despite publishers' efforts to reduce it) for the directory
to be "scrubbed" by repeated use and effective life is reduced still
further.

The above Mikey's slimy cockamamie is to weasel out the DirectCD
problems caused by the following and other DirectCD bugs:

=======================
DirectCD 3.05
Fixes

For some recorders, it was possible to select recording speeds
that were not in fact supported.

Some older, low-speed recorders cannot correctly write high-speed
rated CD-RW media, but DirectCD would formerly allow you to try.

DirectCD now checks the media and
will reject as appropriate. === FIXED ???

DirectCD 5.3.4
Fixed:

Burn to Ultra High Speed media on non-Ultra High Speed Drives,
no longer allowed === FIX a FIX ???
