Cd-r's

[Mobas]

I was curious what brand of CD-R's are best in terms of quality and reliability. I had tried several brands and I seemed to have gotten some errors (on some of the CD-R's) when burning. I figure that this forum must have some pros that have a lot of experience with which are the best brands. Any advice would be appreciated. :)

Forget "particular" brands.
I take any brand that's free after rebate.

I wait until the sale. I buy about 300 CD-R's (3 spindles) and send the rebate in.

300 will easily last until the next "free after rebate" sale.

If these manufacturers want to play this rebate game ...I&#39;ll play along <_<
(why not give the savings up front? :angry: )
