I had MP3 CD readers so I would make mp3 CD's that would play up o 300 songs. Of course I did sacrificed quality and re-encoded down to 88K, which was barely radio quality. I would hear occasional chirps. If I had to do it all over again (I use USB sticks now at whatever quality), I would go no further down than 96K (standard radio quality; 128K=CD quality). With a good mp3 re-encoder, you could pack a mp3 CD with 3 days of radio quality music and much longer on something like a 4 GB USB stick if you're stereo has an usb connector for it. Good for a cross-country road trip. No satellite radio is needed. Sure, there are newer standards, but mp3 is universal and you can always play it.
As far as CD's, I've found that the slower you burn them, the better off you are. Just like charging a phone. Fast charging, fast recording, isn't the best choice. Heat is a killer for electronics. Slower is best. Phone charging should give you the option to choose slow charging even with a fast charger. Of course using aftermarket cords and chargers tend to revert and default to slow charging.
Anyway, enough with the side-track.
Slower, less heat= less errors, easier to read.
Fastest, high heat= more errors, harder to read,
Choose the simpler standard that doesn't try to pack in so much data, thereby making your tracks larger. Again produces less errors and easiest to read and of course would likely last longer.
It's just physics.
