Actually CDRW discs are available at Sam's Club for just over a dollar each. (I think
I
paid $30 for a spindle of 25 Verbatim).
But as I have stated many times before, even if you can hear a difference between the
MD and
CD, that difference becomes insignificant when you are jogging or driving in or car.
It is such a shame to see the MD media go down the tubes. It is so perfect. I have
had
many 3.5" floppy discs go bad even though they are enclosed in a jacket. Forget about
CDs.
Either you keep them in their jewel box and handle them with kid gloves or they can
give you
problems.
But I have only had one MD ever go bad on me. A Coolata (Duncan Donunts-My wife is
addicted
to them-spilled on one). Every other MD that I have since the original Sony's that I
bought
in the very early 1990 still work.
