Cheap CD's
We picked up some super cheap CD's at a local computer show. But were
having one problem with them. Data CD's seem to work just fine but when we make an Audio CD it seems to literally fall apart when played. Are the Cheap CD's no god for Audio or is something else wrong? |

You tend to get the quality you pay for.

I am sure that there are CDs that are only suitable for data burning.
Always look for the audio logo if you want to use them in your cd or dvd player. You may find though that you can still burn music to them, but can only play them on your computer. Hope this helps...

Cheaper CD's have more errors, and some CD players may have trouble
reading them. It is possible that audio CD players are more fussy than computer CD readers about the quality of CD media you ask them to read. If one of your music CD's won't read well, try reading it on a computer CD burner. If it reads fine there, you just have a poor CD medium and should throw them out. I have found Memorex to be reliable and inexpensive, and abundant. Prime was very good but hard to find. Lately Ridata has become available in my area. They seem really good for DVD, and I hear they are good for CD. Mitsumi, usually sold very cheap, has errors quite often. Some no name brands even peel after a few weeks, and are totally unreliable. Old CD's make excellent fireworks displays in the microwave. Place something protective underneath first and open a window for ventilation. We save the best looking nuked CD's for artistic wall displays. |
