While we are on that thread, how can you tell which is the correct side to
put the CD in to the drive so you know that you're recording. I am VERY new
at this too. Or is there a smooth side and a rough side on the CD?
Forgive me if this a dumb question but I'd like to save myself a little
trouble.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
Daniel,
I think most main stream brands should work well. You don't
necessarily have to buy those formulated especially for music. Any old
data cd will work if you're creating from the computer..
I've used, TDK, Memorex, Fuji, Imation, Sony and many others.
You may want to decide if you want a spindle (without jewle cases) or a
stack with jewel cases, either thin or regular. If you get a spindle,
be aware that often the first and last disk are often a clear plastic
one for protection of the disks and does not record. It can freak one
out.
The next question will be, how to do cd covers or track listings? If
you get any good tips, let us all know. I haven't found a program with
which I am comfortable yet.

I've begun creating CDs for friends by both copying my own music CDS
and
also by creating compilations from music files on my hard drive. While
learning, I've used a few blank CD/Rs graciously donated by a friend.
Now
I'd like to get myself a modest supply to keep on hand, and I'd love to
hear
recommendations. I just did a search on Amazon and realize that there
are a
lot of brands to choose from, in different quantities, with or without
jewel
boxes. It's a bit overwhelming. I just want to find something like a
25-pack of good quality discs that I can depend on for quality and
durability.
Also, I'd like to know where to find those slim-line jewel boxes that
most
people I I know use for CDs they make themselves.
Here's the model of the CD-ROM drive/recorder in my Dell PC. I'm under
the
impression that the write speed is 52x, but if anyone knows
differently,
please say.
thanks a lot. Here's my recorder model, courtesy of Belarc Advisor:
SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352F [CD-ROM drive]
