CD-ROM Tool SPTI

CD-ROM Tool SPTI is a user-friendly and intuitive application that was created to help you modify the read speed of your CD-ROM to a higher or lower level, depending on your needs, the latter option being used particularly to reduce the noise processing of compact discs.

Subsequent to the download process, you can just decompress the archive and launch the executable as the program does not need to be installed on the system in order to function.

As a result, you can easily store it on portable media drives and use it whenever you need, without it leaving a trace on a host computer when it is removed through regular deletion.

Once launched, CD-ROM Tool SPTI can automatically detect the drive name, along with the maximum speed and the spindown duration, as well as whether it is locked.

The simple, tabbed interface enables you to switch between the ‘Main’ section or the ‘Shortcuts’, ‘Automation’ and ‘Advanced’ areas, in order to adjust various CD-ROM configuration preferences. Optionally, when minimized, the utility can retreat to the system tray, in order to get out of your way and not interfere with your work.

From the ‘Main’ tab, you can ‘Detect Speeds’, then set the preferred spindown or lock the CD-ROM drive. The ‘Shortcuts’ section lets you create desktop icons in order to launch the application faster, while the ‘Automation’ area lets you activate the periodic setting at a user-defined number of seconds, or when a disc is inserted.

The ‘Advanced’ tab allows you to create and manage multiple speed profiles, which you can apply whenever you need them or remove them from the list when they are no longer necessary.

Bear in mind, however, that the program does not work on all the devices, some of them not featuring this built-in functionality, but there is no other way of learning if the drive is compatible or not then by trying CD-ROM Tool SPTI.
