Do you have to purchase CD-R audio disks at approx $4.50 or will the much cheaper basic CD-R disks work just as well for this task??. And just as a query, If you do not need the more expensive disks what is their purpose?	Guest (0)

Also the cdr's you should buy are verbatim, they are dark blue underneath and anything can read them without skipping, gold are the worst and green also skip sometimes.	Guest (0)

The previous posters were correct, but my suggestion to you is to buy the cheapest disc available in ones or twos. try it, and if it works, then buy a bunch of them to take advantage of bulk buying discounts. If they don't work try a different brand that is a little more expensive till you find one that does. My stereo seems to like any old disc, but my sisters cheaper system will only take the more expensive discs. G P	Guest (0)
