Nickp - they seem to be offering a run of 20 CDs for £200. Since pressings need a glass master which costs £150 to make it's fairly obvious they are making CDRs.

I'm making CDRs too - the only complaint I've had about one that wouldn't play was from someone who has an old CD player that is generally picky and in particular doesn't like CDs with self-adhesive labels on them.Using a Mac she copied it to another CDR which worked perfectly.

There is a newish CDR dye that is very pale green in colour and I believe that is more long lasting that its predecessors. Certainly some of the older dark gold and blue coloured CDRs were very unreliable.

I attribute success to the use of a Plextor CD burner - more expensive than some, but it seems to burn at x24 onto cheap bulk media with no trouble.

BTW I recommend Value Media in the UK for supplies of CDRs, jewel cases and related bits and pieces.
