what are the best brand of cd-r's to use for downloads and trading?

Answer 1

Well, it sort of depends on who you ask. Generally as long as their name brands, it doesn't seem to matter that much as long as they're 80 minute discs. Gold discs last longer than silver but they're also more expensive. Some people also swear by the more expensive Japan ones(IE ty discs and so on), but these also can cost alot more and after listening on high end systems, I'm not sure that there's that much difference. I started out with the more expensive stuff, but wasn't all that impressed in the difference and I'm an audiophile.
