I was always under the impression that 1x, 2x, 4x, were simply data
transfer rates. Why would a higher tranfer rate not get a 'bit by bit' copy?

This may be similar to my above question: Why would a CD-ROM drive not
make a 'bit by bit' backup? A bit is a bit is a bit. I would also suppose
a CD-RW drive reads 1s and 0s just like a CD-ROM.

Since you haven't made a coaster yet, my next comment may be moot. I had
read that some CD-R drives would not work reliably burning at 1x because
the burn time per bit was too long. This may have been more due to
low-quality disks than the drive.
