Who makes good CD-R and CD-RW discs? How can I be certain they will work in my writer?
• Are green CD-R discs better than gold or blue ones? • Do gold CD-R discs have better longevity than green discs? • Rumors state that silver CD-R discs can damage the lasers in drives. Do blue CD-R discs with silver metallization have the same quality as gold? • I am told by some suppliers that all CD-R discs are the same. Others tell me that gold discs are the best, another states that blue discs are of the highest quality, and some say that silver is unacceptable. What discs are best? • How are Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C CD-R discs defined? Are they all usable? • What are “audio” rated CD-R discs? Are they of higher quality? • The manufacturer of my 48X CD-R writer states that media used in the writer must be 48X certified. Is this just an attempt to control my choices of media? • I always buy high capacity, 74 minute CD-R discs. Why would anyone use discs with only 63 minute capacities? • Where can I find the new 90 minute CD-R discs? Why were they previously unavailable? • Test
