I’ve found with some cheap media, Audio is the hardest thing to burn good, again, especially in the last half of the CD. You may have heard of some recordable disks now being branded specifically “Audio CD-R’s” and others “data. Here in Canada the government was even getting involved, wanting to put extra taxes on Audio CD-R’s. The Canadian Government just loves to find things to drop more taxes onto. I’m thinking these Government and corporate tools are trying to split the CDR media into two categories strictly for profit reasons. One thing is for sure, there’s no shortage of garbage media out there, even trusted names like verbatim is selling at least three grades of quality and every time you see the labels change on the package you can be sure the media quality’s taken another dive. The good old dark blue’s are all but a memory. I think the Audio branded were supposed to be better quality and more compatible for consoles where Data CD-R’s were supposed to be strictly PC data even thought Audio or Data tracks can be recorded onto either.

Anyway, it’s like back in the 80’s when they started putting the “HQ” on VCR’s, they were’t better quality at all, “HQ” meant cheap plastic gears and cheaper components! Oh, corporations love to sell people overpriced garbage, thanks again Sony. Now that the Fools and tools are so occupied by the burning speeds marked on the media as if 48X is actually better quality than 8X, well guess what!!! For Christ sakes anything over 8X is variable speed, variable garbage!
