    Default Best Blank CD's?

    Hi Guys,

    If i am not spinning vinyl, i use a usb stick on my CDJ's, but not everybody has the same setup as me, and so I want to start putting my tracks on CDs.

    There are so many out there, and after doing a few google searches, i am a bit confused.

    Is there any particular brand that is better than any other?

    What do you guys use and recommend?

    I am sure this has been asked on here before, and i have done a few searches with the search tool, but I have not yet found anything directly relating to my questions

    so yeah, please advise.

    Thanks.

    Just go to the store and buy some Memorex or Maxxell or whatever they'll be fine

    I was thinking of eBay actually, as i will want a couple of spindles.

    So no real difference between them all then? None to avoid in particular? I was looking at a brand called Verbatim.

    Thanks for the info.

    I heard of those. I can't really see how there would be much of a difference between them

    Yeah, that was my thoughts too. I just didn't want to end up with some dodgy discs that skip or don't work properly etc.

    I'll get the verbatim's

    Thanks.

    Any "name brand" media, from a "media" or "computer" company, will be fine. I have used Memorex, Maxell, TDK, HP, Sony, Verbatim, Imation, Philips and more.

    I would avoid "store brand" or "generic" media from any source.

    Same here, they seem pretty durable and have been abused a fair bit.
