Re: Opinions on CDs

[Clyde Kahrl]

	The kind of CD blanks you use is really important.  It is 
particularly important if you want your disks to play in some machine 
other than the machine that burned it.   Here is a reference to a 
site where people spend a lot of time on this issue.

	What you discover, reading this thing, is that there is a 
huge variation in the dynamic range of the recorded signal from disk 
to disk, burner to burner and speed to speed.

	I now use only Fuji 48 CDRs and I burn them at 40.   I can 
often get them at  These are Taiyo Yuden disks (silvery greenish blue 
on bottom).    Please note, that just because it says Fuji, that 
doesn't mean it's a Taiyo Yuden disk--but this model is.  DONT get 
the "music cd" disks.

	Rite Aid sells stacks for 18 bucks and 12 bucks on sale.  I 
have used staples brand disks and other brands.   They produce a 
coaster periodically, but the reason you don't use them is that 
invariably you can't use them on a machine other than the one you 
burned them on.  And isn't that the point of disks anyway?
