Issue 2: "The speed resets when I change discs."

5. Risks & Limitations

• Not all drives support speed change commands. Many slim laptop drives and USB-powered externals ignore SET CD SPEED.
• Too slow can cause issues. Some drives have a minimum speed (e.g., 4x); forcing 1x may cause seek failure or read timeouts.
• Warped discs: Very slow speeds might actually worsen tracking if the disc wobbles at low RPM; medium speed sometimes stabilizes it.
• Rip-lock workarounds may fail. Some newer drives have firmware that enforces speed locks at the hardware level; software cannot override.
• Increased wear if run at max speed constantly. High-speed operation (16x–24x) stresses spindle bearings and can crack poorly balanced discs.
