What CDR brand do you use to burn your Cd's?

limewire is all i know. a lot of other people use other programs that are better, but i'm not really sure which one to pick. the best ones are the ones that give you the whole song b4 its converted to mp3 format, and then you have to convert it to mp3 format. idk tho. anyone got anything to say about this?

more converting is never better for any file. imo. you can download discographies with torrent software. that's my main reason for liking azureus.

i've used many hundreds of memorex discs succefully. i am speaking from experience as well. they don't last long. you may actually want your mp3's and dvd's longer than 6 years, which is about memorex's average, and that's stored away in a closet, with no damage physically to the disc.

crap.. i better start storing all my discs on my computer then. this kid burned me copies of a bunch of albums (Like 50 different albums of rock music) on memorex discs. i guess if you got the money, the best way is to just buy the original albums? man i wish they weren't so expensive tho.

it just freezes. it's a data error. i've been paying attention to the years i burned the discs. all of these discs played fine a few years back. average for memorex is around 6 years. i used alot of memorex because of price and i knew the name. they used to make good blank tapes back in the day. i used some tdk's and sony discs 7 years ago and they're perfect still. taiyo yuden, i've just started using 2 years ago, but they are supposed to be in the top class of blanks. i'll see.

memorex seems to be manufactured by ricoh 2nd grade on the list, although I have never had problems with them.

a cd is a cd in my opinion. unless you abuse the shit out of it or leave it out in the sun for countless hours, its your own **** fault if something happens to it. i use whatever i can get my hands on. hell i even use the 99 cent store cd's sometimes.

notice how cmc magnetics, who makes almost all memorex, has a "wide quality variance". most of it variating towards crap.
