What is the best brand of CD-R's?

[joburnet]

Title says it all. I bought some really cheap ones and they don't work very well so now i'm convinced that I need some good 12x ones for my new burner.

don't know what the best are, but i got a 100 Spindle of Imations for 5 bucks once and they work just fine for me....... actually they are pretty good.

i heard princo's are good are high speed recording...they usually sell under generic brands...one i know of is sold at circuit city under the brand "digital media"...

Overall I have had the best luck with TDK's. Never a coaster. Had some problems with some Memorex's.

Well the CD-R's i use the most are Imation and princo and they are both very good quality CD-R's for me.

Mitsui gold and Kodak ultima are supposed to be some of the best, and have good compatibility with many CD players.

I'm a big kodak fan. I picked up about 200 silver/gold kodaks in 25 cd spindles for about $10US each.

My friend nabbed 500cds.

Taiyo Yuden seems to make the best cdrs, i think they make the certified plus TDK's, correct me if im wrong.

Certified Plus are made by TDK
100% Certified can either be made by Ritek (more common) and Taiyo Yuden (less common but better to much better)

TDKs, Kodak, Mitsui's and Taiyo Yuden are among the best cdrs you can buy. Exceptionally stable media and complimentary to any system.

The trick is to find OEM cdrs made by the abovementioned mfg's for cheap. The winners over the last year are the TDK 2x50 pk spindle ID'd as Taiyo Yuden made from CompUSA and possibly Buy.com as some have reported to have received them there plus rebate. The other is the FujiFilm 80min cdrs in either single form, 30pk and 50pk spindles. I believe that BestBuy had rebates on them too some time ago.

I have always liked TDK, but I bought Fujifilm last time and they have worked just as good

Kodak Gold has been rated among the best CD-Rs on the market. I've used Kodak Gold Ultimas for about two years now, and have been very pleased. I've never had any cd/dvd player chug when trying to read a kodak.

Kodak golds, Traxdata golds, and Verbatim DL+ have been the best to me.

I have sworn by Mitsui media for YEARS. Always the most compatible with burners and readers. I recently have been using TDK at work and they seem very good as well.
