Users who experience constant spin down or spin up pauses while their CD ROM drive attempts to access data on their disk may find that shareware programs such as Nero Drivespeed
can help remedy the problem by adjusting the amount of time the CD ROM waits before spinning down or spinning up. These programs can also slow down the spin rate at which the disk is cycled to avoid heat build up which may damage a disk over extended periods of play with faster CD ROM drives.
