By the By:

I'm burning CDs of the Gospel Messengers album I did with Easy Media. I read with great interest all the recommendations for blank printable CDs, and started out with 30 Maxell blanks. People have said that they've had great success with them, and I believe it. Out of those 30 CDs, 3 didn't read correctly and had to be discarded.
Maybe that was just a fluke.

Since then, I bought blank, printable CDs in volume from Discmakers, and so far have had no problems. I've printed over 30 at this point, with no missfires.

This is not to refute the reliability of Maxell.. just to comment on the good results I'm getting with the discs from discmakers.
