Hi there,
A while ago I asked about was there any problems with the CD stackers using CDRs where the music was distorting. I had received some valuable information concerning CDRs that had the blue surface.
After some experimentation, I have found that the best CDRs were the Sony brand.
Yes it is a name brand but not personally supporting the brand but it works well.
I was using an old CD rewrite drive at 4x recording and verification speed.
For anyone that wishes to use recorded CDs, that is my advise.
Kindest regards
