Say,
I'm thinking about switching from my usual TDK discs to Taiyo Yuden. Anybody who can spell out the benefits, which ones I should get and where I can get them at a reasonable price (online order through Switch). Thanks.

Clicky
There's 100 Taiyo Yuden with no cases for £24.99 about 2/3 of the way down.
As recommended to me by Ce||Three. I'm no great expert on the benefits of various brands, but I've had no buffer-underruns or bad CDs since I started using them.

That's pretty much it.
I haven't had one bad burnt CD since I started using them. They can vary in price between 25-30 pound per 100 and I think postage is about 3 pound, but worth every penny I think!

Ive had no bad burn outs, even on cheap Impega CD-Rs (sorry it's what the work buy as standard) since I started copying the files to my HD and burning at 1X with buffer underrun on using Toast Titanium on a G4 and a G5.

For me it really has to do with durability. I have a few Mish discs which I got four/five years and they are suffering wear and tear. I'm now busy getting everything transferred and would prefer a brand that will las for a good few years. On Tape Trader they indicated that is the preferred brand so I though I'd ask around. I see they have ones with and without a white label. ANd that the origin (India, Japan ?) seems to matter?
