any CDRs will work its the quality of your cdj's you need...for example because of the oil suspension and skip-proof cd-slot on the 200's (and most pioneer cdjs) you will never have to worry about this...on tray-loading cd decks this may become an issue for you...especially if your playing in a club with lots of vibration on your decks. for this reason i recommend pio cdj's...

that's not correct. some cdrs are way worse than others. i've noticed this, especially on my cdjs. some cdrs don't hold the cue point in place that well and skip back and forth a bit when freezing it to a frame. i can't recommend a brand though. well maybe one: TDK, never had problems with those altho i haven't been using them for years now.

Cheap cdrs make a difference for sure. There is no doubt about it. I never used to mind crappy brand but now that i actualy care if a cd just stops working i try to only use brand names (TDK is a good one) Iv noticed that with cheap cdrs they can just stop working for no reason what so ever and they can skip easier in regular cd players.

thats intersting guys because i havent heard of people complaining about cdrs independant of the cdj's their using...good to know...i suppose it could have to do with quality of the manufacturing process and how well you treat them...any examples of your cdr's buggin out at all??? havent had any problems with mine thus far and i use name brands plus others...

yeah i can agree so far i burnt a couple of TDK and their fine on my cdj! i guess you get what you pay for lol.

is it alright if i write in a black marker so i can see what tracks are on it?
also my idea is to make 2 copies of the same cd in audio format and have about 8 tracks on each so im not wasting cd's and also if your going to have 8 on a cd you need a copy anyways so you can mix into the songs you have on that disc.
please comment more...

use TDK's, the silver ones, with the funky design that has the 9 dots on em and whatever, ive heard a lot CDJ users say nothing but good things 'bout those ones...as well, burn on a low speed, as low as possible, i burned a couple of cd's @ 24x-32x, unorganized random tracks when i got my CDJ's, and after the CDJ's got up to operating temperature, half through the first track of a cd, it would make this funny noise, like a muffled clicking, since i burned CD's on 4x-8x, havent heard it again.

good idea, i dont know how i should organize my tracks yet myself, im thinking of going by BPM, and if you like, instead of writing on your CD's, cause it can get pretty tedious, put each CD in its own individual folder, then use a program called JDir Print to make a text file of the contents of each folder (i'll post a link later for you), print those txt files, and put them in front of your CD's in your CD Binder/organizer.

yeah well i couldnt wait either and mine support mp3 (1000mk3) so now im trying to figure out how to manage everything in a sufficient manner so i have less problems occuring.

also when you say x4 - x8 do you mean buy them cd-r's or can i buy any speed cd-r and burn it at x4-x8? i agree mate!

yeah thanks i'll look into that! even if you can post would be of help!

thanks for the posts!

I've never had any problems with any brand, cheap or expensive.

Well, I have tried many brands but TDK and Imation seems to work fine!
The last year I have only used Imation to burn music on.

The CD-burner is also a factor I would recomend Plextor and the new NEC cd/dvd burners, never had any problems with them...

I also don't burn my CD's faster then 24x, don't know why...
