Source for audio CD disc
Trying to find a source for blank Sony, Maxell or other brand audio CD-R disc. I have had my fill with Memorex, I can't recall making it through a "50" supply without tossing out several bad disc. Almost everything on the web is for data. Is it possible audio cd's are being phased out for amateur user? Thanks, Johnny

If you are using a PC to burn the audio CD's you ONLY need "data" CD-R's.
The only time you need "audio" CD-R's is for separate (standalone) audio CD burners.
But, the Memorex are known to be marginal. I've used Taio-Yuden with good luck and also the Verbatim's that Sam's Club sells. I've been using those lately as Sam's sells the "ink jet printable" type that I can use on my Epson printer that prints on CD's and DVD's.

I just ordered a bunch, they have great prices, I think. I ordered the ink jet printable ones. With the correct printer you can put the cd in the printer and print the label on the cd.

I think I got my last batch of printable CD-Rs from "Super Media Store", online. So far, I have had 100% success. They have a good price for 100 or 200 pack.
Keep in mind that you should record at a slow speed if you want the CD to play in all CD players. I had a lot of failures when I was burning above 32x speed. I took Jack Stoners advice, recorded all my audio CDs at 8x and now I never get a bad one.
