I have finished a demo for a band. They want to send it off for reproduction. What kind of CD should I use to give to company a good master copy with? I hate to use a cheapy....any takers?

I like Mitsui for important stuff, Kodaks are pretty good as well. Burn slow if you are sending in audio CD format.

just a normal Cd-r that you can get a town will do fine.

Uhhhh...I'm not sure what Zeke was trying to say but....
I have used cheap Circuit City CDR's that I got for $.05 a piece after a big rebate and some other cheap rebate CDR deals, and I have used Kodak and Memorex.
I have had more freaking frisbee's from the cheap CDRs, and the problem is that it isn't always immediatly apparent. I have had two of them that I burnt for friends play correctly for the first 5 to 10 plays and then become corrupt and unplayable.
It has never happened EVER with my Kodak and Memorex. Burn them slower to minimize errors. It's not that all of the cheap CDR's went bad...most of them worked. But it's not worth taking the chance that the duplication house gets a crap copy that goes bad after it has already been checked by you and sounded fine. I havn't used Mistui...I will have to check them out. Thanks for the tip Emeric

Yo Emeric & et. al.:]
A great ceramic-backed CDR came with my 2816; however, very difficult to find them as it seems Yamaha hides them.
Mitsui have worked fine for me and I burn at the highest speed my 2816 will pump at.
I've also used BASF with no problems, maybe one disc did pump up an error but that was long ago. I just got a 15 pack of Sony CD's and have not used any yet -- they are 80 minutes; the others are 74 minutes.
Just read on the Sony pack that the discs conform to standards of the Orange Book Part 2 -- not sure exactly what that means but I have read about it somewhere here on this site. Well, if they don't work, I'll have lots of Coasters for Martinis.

Same here. I've got some cheapo CDR's that seem to work great, then start messing up the more times they get played. Sometimes they never do work on some players. My question is, how come I never have a problem when using them for data?

From what I've experienced, the only time I've had any problems is when I use the "Audio" CD-Rs. I've flipped so many of those into garbage that I've started just buying the cheapies and the fallibilty ratio to the price makes em worth it. For stuff I wanna keep I do make a back-up copy immediately too. I've scuffed too many to not keep another copy.
