which is the better of these cd-r's? or are they equal? I have always used the fuji, but have heard alot of good stuff about verbatim lately. Any thoughts?

F-U-J-I

All the way....

If they are Japan fuji that is.

i've had a lot of problems with verbatim cdr's

Fuji's used to be real good until they started making them in Taiwan. Wouldn't use them at all nowadays. The Verbatim's are real nice but I will only use their products for blank DVDR's.

If you want quality, reliable, no coaster blanks I ONLY use Taiyo Yuden discs. Cascade Media has them for a heck of a deal.

Sooo..........All my shows are recorded on to either Maxell, Memorex, Sony and Imation. Which brand's should I avoid in the near future. It is too late to replace hundreds of shows, but if I can treat the music to better discs, let me know. My boss uses Verbatim on all his backup, and they seem to work fine. I always thought that fuji discs were bad news. It goes to show yall what I really know and what I am oblivious too.

I would go for the silver/white printable ones:

http://www.cascademedia.net/product...=76&prodid=1040

They are $8 more, but I have found the plain silver top scratch too easily on the top. The printable surface provides an extra thick top layer that protects the foil better. IMHO

Verbatims have not worked well for me, Fuji's on the other hand always have.

Hey folks,
here is a good link for taiyo yudens, a special for music traders.
I have ordered over 1000 cd's from this link and have been very happy.
They come very quickly and shipping is only a few dollars.
A spindle of 100 is $25 (for the silver-the white ones are $32 +shipping) with shipping it comes to $28.00 (less if I order multiple spindles), and my last order was placed on a wednesday and received on friday!!

This is the company I use too. I think Keith orginally posted a link to this. Thanks Keith.
They are always on time!

edit: out of 2000+ discs, I have had 0 bad discs. Go for the white/silver printable ones, worth the extra $

well i just bought 3 50-pack of the jap fujis from best buy at a whopping $5.99 a piece Gotta love it people

Personally, the only ones out of that group I'd use are Sony's. Fujis seem to work pretty well for me, as do TDKs. Never had much problem with any of those three.

yep...the plain silver ones either get sun spots or scratched....what ever happend to the mini-disc?...oh yea..they last forever

and they don't skip.

People flame the ole mini disc, but I have been very pleased with it for playback purposes. I am terrible with discs and the md seems to have been invented for my non taking care of cd's ass ...plus they erase just fine if a show blows or a 2003 tour

I've had no problems whatsovever with Verbatim. Love 'em, and seem to be very high quality, especially the Verbatim Data Life.
