Can't make audio CD containing MP3s

I really do believe that they buy the dregs that didn't meet the specs of other brands. I don't remember seeing ANY of the different recommended brands listed above in my local stores but I could look around; maybe I'll get lucky. But it seems like a crapshoot. After all, aren't most of the house brands that you buy at places like Staples actually made by a major manufacturer and the store then just puts its house brand on it? Bingo. That's what I was talking about above. So maybe the Staples CD-RWs I have _are_ one of the recommended brands for this drive. Or not. I would guess that they probably are. You should have software that will tell you the manufacturer (CD info, something like that). But, you can't tell until you get them home. Well, that will tell you who made the die used to press the disks, but not necessarily who made the disk. But that's the best you can do. The stores, of course, are sworn not to tell you what brand you are really buying.... I doubt that that's true. But there's really no way of knowing unless you were involved in buying the disks from the manufacturer (or a middelman). Even then, I remember buying a spindle from a major brand, and half were from one manufacturer, and half from another. |
