OK, so I’m a geek, and burn a lot of CD’s for various reasons. I have seen many discussions on the Theatre-Sound mailing list about which is the best brand, or manufacturer, or dye color to use. I like this article because aparently there are folks out there who geek out to this aspect of computing specifically. I need to check out Club CD Freaks, and CDRLabs.com the next time I plan on buying a spindle of new CDR’s.
In my experience, I have always had reasonably good luck burning CD’s that work by burning the important ones at a lower rate. It takes a little longer, but when it comes to burning an audio CD that needs to be a good burn, it’s worth the wait.
