Hello, Recently I purchased a Philips CD Burner, that hooks up like a CD player to my home audio system (as opposed to a CD-ROM drive). I use it to make music CD-Rs. The instructions specify that I should use only DIGITAL AUDIO/RECORDABLE CD-R, not just recordable CD-Rs. [Question one: Is this the difference between AUDIO CD-Rs and DATA (or MEDIA) CD-Rs?] Some of the DIGITAL AUDIO/RECORDABLE CD-Rs, however, don't work well on my other CD players. The Maxells don't work; Memorex work, but often the music gets thready after repeat plays, and about 1 or 2 out of 10 can't record past track 8. The Sony also work, and seem to be more reliable than the Memorex. [Question 2: why do some CD-Rs sound thready after repeat play? This, by the way, happens on my car stereo.] Question 3: How do I find the best CD-R manufacturer(s), for this burner as well as for playing on my other CD players? I'd like to try Philips brand, but can't find them (at least, not the DIGITAL AUDIO/RECORDABLE CD-Rs that I need). I haven't tried TDK or Fuji. Should I? Question 4: And does the color make a difference with this type of burner, and – if so -- which manufacturer and which color should I buy? Quesiton 5: Last question! Where's the best place(s) to buy the disks? I've been frequenting Best Buy, but I'm not sure I'm getting the best deal. Thank you!
