cd-r music for blanks

Before you buy anything, check to see of your CD burner supports regular CD-R's. They're less expensive.

When you're shopping, check to see what the country of origin is. Most are from Taiwan. They're all made in the same factory and are identical. Buy whichever ones are the least expensive. If you can find ones made in Japan, get them. I think they're a little better.

Taiwanese Taiyo Yuden are one of the best (they invented CD-R) - recently bought by JVC. I would make sure it is original Taiyo Yuden. Recording on music CD-Rs makes any recording legal (like tape). Since recording is legal you can make copy of it on hard drive and use it.

Some one mentioned the Mobile Fidelity Gold discs. These wouldn't work for me, either in a Sony CD burner or multiple computers.

I use the MoFi's 24 Kt Gold Ultra Disc in my Alesis Masterlink. I wouldn't use anything else. Why?

I would have seconded Taiyo Yuden/JVC, except that as far as I am aware they don't make "music CDRs," that will record in a CD recorder. Maxell and Sony, as suggested by Mofimadness, do make them, as do TDK and Mitsui/MAM-A. The latter are described as using a gold reflective layer and having various other advanced features, at a higher price point than the others, of course. Not sure how or if they differ from the MFSL Gold CDRs.
