What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin

I think the burner makes as much difference as the blank. There seems to be some preference for black cdrs, but when it comes to burners, I find no concensus whatsoever.

I'll also cast a vote for Taiyo Yuden CDR's. Simply first rate. I get mine from http://www.cddimensions.com/

Mlsstl, which do you get the Everest? Is there some way you can buy fewer than 500?

I buy the item marked as TAI-CDR80WPHP, which is available in quantities as low as 100. I don't have a thermal printer so use the ink-jet version.

Yes, the burner makes just as much of a difference as the media. That's why I stated TY media on a Plextor Premium burner. All burners are different. My Alesis Masterlink absolutely does NOT like Black CD-R media while my Tascam DV-RA 1000 loves it. That's why you have to check your error rates for each burner/media to acheive the best match!
