I agree! Don't pay attention to the company on the label!
It's all about where the discs are made/manufactured!
General rule of thumb... made in Japan = Good disc! made in taiwan =

Very few CDRs are spec'd for burning at 1x these days: most use dye
formulations that expect a minimum write speed of about 4x. (The only
CDRs that you should expect to work reli
Here is an interesting web site, although it concentrates on dvdr's

Links to the other forums discussing making coasters would probably get

I haven't gotten errors burning discs since the days of buffer
underruns, but perhaps I don't burn enough of them. It has been

I also tend to stop all activity when burning. ie don't download or use
any apps during the process. Maybe I'm being superstitious but
interruptions to the process are not good.

So my sig-other buys me a stack (100) of CD-R's - TDK to be exact.
Not so sure about the quality as it seems 1 in 5 burn w/errors.
What's the consensus here concerning best quality (price no object)
CD-R's for burning audio?
Cheers to the house!
