Recordable CD's
What type/brand of recordable CD do you use or recomend?
I bought a stack of Hypermedia CD-R Recordable 80 Min/700 MB Multi Speed 48X discs, and have had some so-so luck with them.
Maybe it's iTunes, but it takes 4 to 5 discs to properly burn one CD.
Sometimes I'll successfully burn a CD, then try to burn the exact same song list and run into problems.
Is this an iTunes problem, CD burner problem, or a disc problem?
Anyone else have these issues? And who makes a good CD disc?
Thanks for your input.

Maybe it's a good burner; I just don't know.

Just for kicks, try burning a data CD. That should tell you whether it's the iTunes software, or burner/disc related. I don't think you need extra software to burn a data CD from XP, but I can't tell you how to do it off the top of my head.

No, it is the type of files you are putting on the CD. Any files on your computer can be burned to a CD (provided they fit), but the disc can only be read by computers (not your home stereo).
This site seems to have pretty good instructions http://kb.iu.edu/data/akvi.html and if I'm remembering correctly, XP makes it pretty easy. Doing this eliminates the iTunes software from the equation; if the problem still exists then you know that it's either the burner, the discs, or Windows (i.e. the driver for the burner).

Verbatim CDs.
Maxell CDs.
Nero Burning Rom. I haven't made a coaster since switching to these items.
Sony Vaio Laptop, same deal. Nero Burning Rom. I don't mess with the stuff in XP.
