anything i've used was good except digital research technologies.
apparently, their 16x 700 mb CDRs can be burned at 24x but can hold about 685 mb only. |

I just recently bought HP CDRs coz they were on sale @ Staples
at first they skipped a bit on my CD player but after a while they began working perfectly fine...i've used various CDRs b4 and methinks they are all pretty much the same save for the manufacturers...also, most of them are made in Taiwan (the ones they sell in stores) |

Yeah just like Mr Mistery said earlier.
They're pretty much all made by the same companies.
The reality of things there is only 3 or 4 ( something like that ) manufacturers of blank CD R's and yeah most of them are based in taiwan. Everything gets rebranded. There's ways to track what manufacturer made your cds too.
Because of this fictitious difference between the different brands you find in your local stores it can make the purchase of said item unpredictable. I've found stocks of the same brand/model of cds with different dyes and such BECAUSE it was made by another manufacturer. |

Memorex Black.
ive found these things to be great. i used to use sony but i begun to see a pattern in how many cds would burn and how many would be unusable.the ratio of unusable ones just seemed to go up with each new purchase of 50. plus sony just could not take any kind of wear and tear. a little scuff and the cd would just go kuput. now with the black cds ive beaten some of these things into the ground and they still keep going(suppposedly because the black cd's keep the laser light from bouncing off the scuff marks, which i have to admit seems plausable just from personal use)i do think the volume quality on sonys were pretty good so as soon as they drop the price of their sony blacks ill give them a try. still tho its memorex all the way for me.
GIVE TRANCE A CHANCE.... |

| btw, what i've likewise noticed whilst working @ Staples is that the blank CDRs are by and large selling the cheapest. We've a new low price for them at our store costing $25 for a spindle of 100 of em...while many other CDRs only go for that price when they're on sale...go figure |

| I only use Verbatim "Super Azo" Dye Technology DataLifePlus CD-Rs -- the data surface is cyan in color. Never had any problems with them. |

Some brands are notoriously better than others. Some "survive" longer. They're not all the same.

TDK or Memorex...both have worked nicely
though i must admit that for burning live radio shows such as ASOT 650mb 74min Maxell's have worked perfectly with no problems... |
