I second that. I'd really have to agree with your statement. I've used many brands and when it all comes down, I'd really have to say I've never had a CDR go bad, unreadable, or burn a coaster cause of it's brand. Now there may be CDRs with no protective coating which would ruin your data. But I've been using Imations and TDKs (Taiwan) for quite a while and all my disks are still in perfect shape. Well maybe its for one that I keep them in CaseLogics. But really, you'd have to really abuse them or lay them out in sunlight to get problems most complain about...
<< What are you guys doing to these cdr's to make them die after 6 months? I have cdr's I burned 5 YEARS ago on some of the crappiest media available at the time (memorex and kao) that still work fine! And that media I used really blows, hold it up to a light and you can see right through it. But if you could get them for 5 or 6 bucks a disc you were pretty happy since verbatim's were 10 bucks a shot.
I'm all for high quality media (verbatim's are my fav) for special stuff or car audio because they resist scratches a bit better... but discs that just die after 6 months? Come on.
Are you guys leaving them on the sidewalk or what? I've got music I burned years ago that I leave in my car (not in direct sunlight) during Dallas summers and it still is perfectly fine.
Unless someone is literally using these for a beer coaster or works in a steel mill I don't get it. >>
