I got a new DVD-rom drive today to replace my old one because it was getting too noisy. It's an LG drive, which I read were supposed to be quiet, but it is infact quite the opposite. It's easily as noisy as my old Pioneer drive, if not worse.
Now I could care less at what speed my player reads DVDs or CDs, so I'm wondering, is there a hassle-free way to make it run at lower speeds or atleast accelerate slower (it sounds like it's trying to go from 0 to 52x in 1 second or something)? Say, 12x or so. Just anything to make it stop sounding like it's trying to take off would be nice.
I recall having done something similar many years ago but I don't remember how and I can't find any option in Windows XP to accomplish this.
