Tho, I used corporate accounts...I'm sure there's cheaper retail websites out there. :)

ta... anyone used Bigpockets.co.uk ? Are they reliable ?

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet
 

Yes and yes!

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet
 

These are really good - but don't do next day delivery

edit : actually, they don't look too good for cd's - good for dvds though, which is what I've used them before for

On a similar theme....does anyone still buy 74 min CD-Rs? If so where do you get them from these days?

I've found them far more compatible (for CDDA burning) with my multi-disc changer in the car than 80 min ones.

And I've only got 10 left ARGHHH

74's are very rare now, I doubt that anyone still makes them

I get my media from the local computer fair too!

Superdrug (at least my local one) do samsung media - not as cheap as online or computer fairs, but handy for a cased 10 pack or 25 tub if you run out.

www.aria.co.uk I use them all the time. good prices.

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet
 

www.bigpockets.co.uk has 74mins media too....

I know about computer fairs but to be honest the traffic from here to Croydon is astrocious these days on Sundays....

I've only used them for DVD+/-R (great service!), but they sell CDR etc too.

Yes I've tried a few brands, from the cheapest right up to HHB Professional ones. It's quite a well known issue, particularly on in-car players that are a few years old or more.

It's not a problem on my home player as this supports CD-R and CD-RW. The problem is, as I understand it, that the power required to read the smaller pits in an 80 minute disc is slightly greater, this is where the problem comes in for car players. It doesn't really make any difference burning less on to an 80 min disc, as the pits are the same size as a full one.

Saying that, you do tend to find issues with many brands for the last few minutes of a recording, but most CD players will read up to that point if not beyond - so yes quality of disc is important for that.

I've even resorted to eBay now for my 74 min discs...LOL

My local supermarket has 74 min CDs... and in fact, I even saw some at PC World when I last went there (not that I go there regularly, but I was after a laptop bag, and thought that even they wouldn't be able to mess up that! ;))

Good prices at http://www.ebuyer.com

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet
 

Svp Communications are good, they also have a buyers club (to join its free) & sometimes during the month from Fri-Sun for members only, Svp offer to reduce the postage to 99p (providing you spend £30+) add that to very very good after sales service (rapid response to emails) & add also if the contents of your order should get damaged in transit (subject to Svp's terms & conditions) they will replace the damaged items.

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet
 

DRAwe is right - the after sales for SVP is excellent, as is their pre-sales service. I can highly recommend them.

They even helped me once when I was living abroad by suggesting one of their competitors when they were unable to deliver to France (think that's changed now and they serve all of the EU) instead of pushing for me to order through them and get my order delivered to a UK address and then shipped over to France afterwards.

Highly recommended!
