This is what we do when people ask us to burn CDs with them. ;)

You might want to search around for the 50s packs. They'll save you at
least P8-P10/CD since you won't be spending for the jewel cases. I think
I've seen some in GreenHills.

I haven't done that, but what I normally do with our CDs (backups of the
server) is to run a complete read test once a month. I probably should
try a copy/verify instead, but that sounds like a good way to stress
test it.
I would advice, however, that you test it on CDROM readers, instead of
CD-RW drives.

Imation has been in the media market for quite some time now, and their
reputation seems to be good even among the US folk, so they may be a
good choice. :)
