Well the KEY THING in buying a CD burner if your doing music is to make sure it is a DISC AT ONCE system, not a track at once. The difference between the two is amazing. The disc at once systems allow you do drop tracks without the silence commonly found between tracks. It also allows index codes and so forth. Whats more you can take one of the audio tracks you've done and send it right to the pressing plant and have them make CDs from it. With a track at once cd rom burner there must be 2 seconds pause between songs, everthing is chained together with pointers, and CD pressing plants won't take your golds. They're great for multisession cds for data, and if you don't mind the 2 second breaks.

Oh yeah... those blue verbatim discs which are worthless. Quality is crap, bought a pack of 10 and NONE of them worked. All my TDK's or Sony's worked fine!
