Ignore Bl@de, he just goes around slagging off the Philips everywhere he goes, the thing is this... there are many many drives rom or writer that wont read subchannel data/audio. As long as you have a reader that can read in these modes, you'll be sorted with a Philips, as they can just as much, if not more than any other writers out there.
I know that all the Toshiba's and the Teac CD Rom drives, are highly recommended to read this mode.
Listen to "Homer" as he is spot on with his comments. I have a plextor and with it being relatively new it cannot downgrade firmware below 1.05, so I use a Philips together with a Teac Reader, to do any heavily protected software that I have to Back-up, Total Cost around £115-£120.
But as Homer says you dont always need to have the Subchannel modes selected, unless maybe you are backing up console Titles.
