    CDSlow is a program to control the speed of CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives. More precisely, to limit the maximum speed of the drive for reducing the noise, when it is not required to read the data very fast (for example, when listening a MP3 music).

    It does not verify the integrity of the disc. Which is the primary use of CD speed. Plus it's Mac only. Cd speed is windows and thus not an alternative at all.
