by the way, i have a question for CDJ's, what cdrs do you use? i heard its best to use the ones with the gold colour for best results? like kodak or something?
haha, i did that with a hootie and the blowfish cd
huh...thought I was the only one
I have been using TDK music CD-Rs for a few years and have never had a problem.
Last cd-r spindle I bought was something like 100 for $17.99 (About $15 US)
But I mostly just buy DVD-r's now. Waiting for dual layers to become cheap!
I recently got 200 DVD+R and -R media for $20, no joke. Crazy price matching deal in full effect mode.

in my car which is a 2003, so i think thats not the problem
see this is the main problem i am having, first i bought maxells, those fucked up in my car, then i bought maxells and the worked great, went through two spindles of em never had a prob, went to the store this week bought another spindle of the same[/b] ones and they are all fucked up, but i think it might be my computer drive cause some dvds i burned this week are fucked as well
fuck computers
You're kidding right. I thought this was a joke like how you can just put a piece of tape over the cassette corners and dub over them. Can you really record over cds?
Stop fronting.
my car - 1999 acura with factory system - SUCKS playing cdr's... which especially sucks because that's all i listen to (i'm trying to protect og cd's, don't ask why)
white on top for printing
get em at Fry's $14 for 50
if it doesnt work, try drilling a hole on the bottom left corner, it will go from 700mb to 1400mb. (my ancient computer heads drilling
There was a whole artical in some mag (Wired maybe?) about 5 years ago where they tested a bunch of different brands of CDRs and Verbatim was the winner. I've never had problems with Verbatim. And I've bought bad batches of tons of other brands: Memorex, Fuji, Maxxel
Once again
I will usually go back and forth (read "depending on how much I have and what is on sale") between Maxell, TDK, Sony, and Imation. Imation recently changed, their CD-R's used to be made in Japan but now they're done in India. My old CD burner noted the difference and I had to return my spindles. But the current burner I have (a DVD burner) works find.
I've always wanted to buy a spindle of Mitsui's.

With that said, I did read that a lot of CD-R's are pretty much made the same way, not only in manufacturing, but I heard in one instance that in some countries, one company does them all. Kind of like how Sony, Panasonic, and JVC radios were all the exact same components.
hey thanx to all for the input, went and bought a bundle of verbatim and they are working great! many thanx
Dude, Memorex made the shittiest cassettes (aside from Radio Shack)... for this reason I've NEVER bought their CDRs... there's a reason they're the cheapest
Don't know what happened to Maxell though, they had the really expensive high-grade tapes BITD... don't think I've even seen their CDs around though...
