Hi Shannon
Sorry to confuse you. No, the burn speed is something completely different.

Think of the bit rate as the 'clarity' of the sound - how many individual tiny samples are stored each 1 second to make up a specific sound.

Take one second's worth of music, break it up into tiny segments to store it. Obviously, the more tiny samples that can be stored, the better (more realistic) the result when it is read and reconstructed back into sound.

The burn rate is just how fast it takes for the CD burner to create the CD, i.e. to copy the samples onto the disk. It could take 5 minutes to actually copy the file to disk, or 20 minutes to copy the file to disk. Nevertheless, the result is the same file that is stored on the disk. The only difference is that one copy process is slower than the other.

Did I go easy on you (smile, I hope)
