English : Français Media
The choice of a CDR brand if more related to mysticism and religion that reality. Those who only use Sony should see this. If you want facts on this subject, CD Media World is rather detailed. Personally, I never had particular problems except with Memorex, which produced a 50% coaster proportion with my former CD writer. None of my CDs which was produced correctly since 1996 have lost information.
HOWEVER, TDK DVD-R sold at Costco are pure shit!
