Before you buy anything, check to see of your CD burner supports regular CD-R's. They're less expensive.

When you're shopping, check to see what the country of origin is. Most are from Taiwan. They're all made in the same factory and are identical. Buy whichever ones are the least expensive. If you can find ones made in Japan, get them. I think they're a little better.

I've settled into buying Sony from Ebay. 12-13 bucks for a pack of 50. Different vendors sell the same product at wildly different prices so it's to compare before you commit!"

He's right. I've used thousands of blank cd-r's and noticed that there are not too many companies that actually make them. The easiest way to tell is to look at the country of origin. Taiwan is the most popular, and if you look at any cd-r's made there, they're all identical, regardless of brand. Same thing with other countries and blank DVD's.
