I agree with you on this, even though they are sold within the price range
of supposedly good brands, I prefer cheaper CDs like Princo or Intenso.

Should I guess that the MDs sold under the FNAC brand (FNAC is an important
French chain store selling electronics, books, CDs, DVDs, videos, and so on,
which is also present in Spain)? I was going to post a message about this,
as I found them last week when I was checking MDs prices on the nearest FNAC.
Portables were not cheap at all, but it was curious to see FNAC-branded
boxes of 25 MDs for around $2 each, which here is a good price for blanks.

I have no special preferences. However, I can't stand some blanks. For no
special reason, I just don't like them. Although, again, it is for the packaging.
