I've got several burners SCSI, USB, IDE, internal, and external. It's puzzling, but I've never had the problems with CD-R media of any brand that a lot of folks have had. For a long time I've been using a brand called Great Quality that Fry's sells. The last spindle of 50 that I bought was 48X and cost $7.00. I usually burn at the maximum speed of what ever CDRW I'm using at the time. That's usually 16X on the Cendyne in the Beige. I use these for data, music, vcd, and svcd. They almost always work fine in stereos, dvd players (that support the codecs), and other computers. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
