as long as it is not a music or data specific, I have had no difference in any particular brand

antunxxx is right, it does matter. But it's really a cost vs. effectiveness thing. If what you're burning is an extremely important data backup (which you should have in more than just cd form) then you should go with more expensive media. If you don't need to do anything like that, then by all means save the money, although some cd writers, readers, and players won't recognize very poor quality cds. I'd go with the cheapest name brand you trust.
And "music" and "data" cd-r's are exactly the same except for the label.

Yes, it matters
Blank CD or blank DVD disc have rating as well, which is why their cost/price varies.
For CD, there is a deep blue or light blue color media, there is the sliver-blue hue media and the cheap green one, greens are suitable for data, silver-bue for music/audio and the blue for data/video.
Disc are also reated at the speed they are able to be writen, if your burner speed is more than the rated speed of the disc, more often you will encounter bad or incomplete brun.
Even tho disc are deisgn to last 10 years, some disc with poor quality can last less than 4 years. You dont want backing up data and only to find that disc is no longer reading.

It also depends upon what you intend to use to play them back. One of my DVD players will play mp3 songs on a CD ONLY if the track title is 8 characters or less AND each track must have the .mp3 file suffix. One of my CD players will not play songs an a CD RW disc. And you may have to "close" the disc before your player can use them.

yes it does it depends on which program you are using to burn your cd's.me personally i use nero, which accepts all c'ds to burn to whether it be songs or videos,christ i downloaded 25 songs off the internet and it took 2 minutes to burn then to my cd.You may have to pay for the program to be installed on your computer but i find it the best and fastest and most compatible program ever,you can make your own video cd's burn all your songs and so much more it is the number 1 for cd burning and more.

You have to use a music cd, not a data cd.

it depends on what type of material you want to burn. if it is audio you want to use a CD-R. If it is files you want to use a CD-RW. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does matter. It must be a CD writeable or rewriteable.

You have to use a CD-R (recordable)
decide if you want a re-writable (RW) to use over and over or not for saving.
