Macworld Forums: Question on burning CD - Macworld Forums

I'm not sure where to ask this question but since this question is regarding burning CDs using itunes on a Mac G4 10.2.8 I hope this is the right place. I'm running out of CDs and I plan to buy some more but here's the thing. When I checked my Itunes preference for burn speed it only indicated up to 24x speed as the maximum. Since most places only has 52X speed blank CDs, my question is will it work on my burner? The reason I asked is my external DVD burner can only burn up to a maximum of 8X speed and will not accept DVDs that are rated 16X. Is it the same with CDs too?

Some older DVD burners won't accept discs rated higher than they can
handle. I've a combo VCR/DVD-R that pukes on any disc rated higher
than 2-X. Yes, it's that old.

CD is a mature technology. I've never even looked at the rated speed
of a CD-R disc. It'll work.
