Well with the faster write speeds, it doesn't take as long to get your
project done. I've heard that for audio CD's, it's best to use the slower
speeds, but it doesn't make as much of a difference with burning data CD's.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
I've been cruising sites like amazon.com, best buy and others, and see
that
there's an enormous variety of blank cd/r products out there. I
understand
the importance of most of the specifications of a CD, such as its
capacity.
But what about the write speed? I'm pretty sure my CD/DVD drive is rated
at
a maximum wwrite speed of 52x, but does this mean I'm short-changing
myself
or inconveniencing myself in some way (or even burdening my system or
burning program in some way) if I don't get discs of the fastest speed?
Does it particularly matter? If I don't use 52x, is it as if I'll have to
sit there all day waiting for one CD to finish being recorded? Why are
there so *many* different write speeds? What were they all intended for?
1x, 4x, 16x, 32x, 48x, 52x-- what's all this about? Does anyone
understand
how there came to be so many types at this point, and what's best to buy?
Thanks.

I think I got a spindle of 50 CD's. I'm not sure exactly how many of
those
are left. I guess you can probably get around 50 for between $10 and $20

Hi,
I just go to Walmart and buy memorex or max l or whatever name
brand is on sale. I buy them in a spindle of fifty, generally, though
sometimes a spindle of 100 is really cheap. I have found that so-called
music cd's are no better than straight write once read many type cd's,
though they generally cost a bit more. Money for r i a a, I suppose.
Hope this helps.

> At 12:27 AM 6/13/2005, Yardbird spake thusly:-
I've begun creating CDs for friends by both copying my own music CDS and
also by creating compilations from music files on my hard drive. While
learning, I've used a few blank CD/Rs graciously donated by a friend.
Now
I'd like to get myself a modest supply to keep on hand, and I'd love to
hear
recommendations. I just did a search on Amazon and realize that there
are
a
lot of brands to choose from, in different quantities, with or without
jewel
boxes. It's a bit overwhelming. I just want to find something like a
25-pack of good quality discs that I can depend on for quality and
durability.
Also, I'd like to know where to find those slim-line jewel boxes that
most
people I I know use for CDs they make themselves.
Here's the model of the CD-ROM drive/recorder in my Dell PC. I'm under
the
impression that the write speed is 52x, but if anyone knows differently,
please say.
thanks a lot. Here's my recorder model, courtesy of Belarc Advisor:
