Hi,

I have been told that a data cd (also audio cd) is
first "read" from the middle track. Another person told me
that it is first "read" from the inside track. I always thought
it was first read from the outside (near the edge) track.

It is the inside. For this reason the performance of reading or writing
gets
better as you nearer the end of the CD.

Not necessarily. :)


Am I correct in thinking that up until around about 32-speed drives, they
would vary the spinning speed to maintain a precise transfer rate?
