dabs.com
microdirect.co.uk

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

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

Re: Buying CD-R's off the Internet

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.

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

It's usually brand (quality) that causes problems rather than the size of the blank disk.

Have you tried only burning 74 mins on the 80 min + discs?? Did you still have trouble??
