I would say that your best bet for quality sound is












to get an mp3 player. LOL :thumbsup

For movie and burning burning Imation and TDK are commonly considered beter quality. Ran into this question burning movies. There are a few others that are considered better but I dont remember what they are.

Definately what Ryan said.

As for a high quality disk, I'm not sure there really are many. I got a pretty nice HP disk as one of my first disks with my first cd burner, now, that disk is terrible. It's really hard to tell which will last. I have several dirt cheap ones that are just fine 5 and 6 years later.

Well three large factors:

1) How was the music ripped and by who. Crappy device ripping the music can intorduce oddities into it

2) Bitrate of the ripped music. Lower rate=crappier music

3) Speed at which you burn. Burning 52x on a 48x disc isnt the best of ideas...

If I want something to sound better burned I burn it slow, like 8x or 16x. Providing the first two points are good :)

ive never really like Memorex.. after awhile the film or whatever on the cd's would come off(when they had the white ones out, dunno if they make em anymore).. but i use Imation alot, and Durabrand(suprisingly good luck with them, especially for the price), but go to http://www.musiciansfriend.com and they have cd-r's they sell, and they go into detail about them, so they may have a good high quality cd-r.. but the best way to stop skipping is to take care of them.. i dunno if any other places sell them, but Wal Mart(here anyway) sells these "sleeve" things that go on the bottom of the cd-r to keep it from geting scratched, and is super slim so it still plays in your cd player..etc.. other than that invest in a cd case and be gentle with them and dont shove them in the sleeves real fast and crap.. :happy055:

i use imation cds and never have a problem. the best way is just to buy the cd cause your always going to loose SQ with a Burn. what kinda deck do you have?
