cd-r music for blanks

Taiyo Yuden CD-R's are and have always been made in Japan, not Taiwan.

Music CD-R's are an increasingly rare breed and usually expensive. More than that, the A>D conveertors in standalone CD recorders that required music CD-R's were never very good (compared to current ones or the ones in "pro" CD recorders), so I'm not sure it matters much which CD-R blanks you use.

Correction to my previous post: The sentence about Mitsui/MAM-A which began with "the latter are described as ... " should have begun with "some of the latter are described as ..."

A good source for the Taiyo Yuden discs is
Supermediastore.

They have a less expensive 'Valueline' and a slightly higher priced JVC labeled line. I've used both for hundreds of burns and never had a failure. Great prices and service.

Rbbert, thank you for correction.

MAM-A silver music cd-rs are manufactured in Colorado and MAM-A claims that their discs are of the highest quality and very long lasting. I have never heard of anyone having a problem with them. If anyone has please let us know.

100 80 minute music cd-rs cost $40 direct from the factory. Here is the link to these discs:
