    Haven't been here in a while, but I remember that Fuji's made in Japan were preferred to those from Taiwan. (But I've had good luck with either, as well as TDK's from Taiwan too. Riteks?)

    Anyway, Best Buy had them in a 30 pack. They also had 10 packs and 50 packs but both from Taiwan. But the 30 pack is from Japan. Me and my friend read the labels over many times to verify. :)

    Presumably good? Should I get some more? I did do a little bit of searching and looks like Sony's have mixed reports?

    Thanks.

    There should be little difference in CD-R quality these days. Almost all discs use phthalocyanine dye, and compatibility is very high. Avoid no-name brands because they sometimes are B-grade castoffs from the big factories or are made by little companies notorious for taking shortcuts in manufacturing. The Sonys should be excellent quality.

    Cool, thanks. I still do stay away from Memorex though. :) Too many bad experiences with those.
