Does slower burning speeds realy result in better quality data? For example when burning audio? This question popped into my head after I burned my Windows 7 ISO @ 4x as the unloader instructed.
 
No. With audio, you set the quality in kbps before you burn the disk. (Obviously it won't make a difference if you set it higher than the source medium. A 128kbps mp3 will never sound better than 128kbps. Not without post-processing during playback, anyway.)

But write errors are more common at higher burn speeds, particularly if you're using faulty media, and/or you're trying to get around some of the more advanced forms of copy protection out there.
