i too bought a complete cd-r "kit" for 299.95 (in US dollars!), and it
came with the drive, the card to install the drive, and easy cd-pro,
which i've found to be damn easy to use no matter what it is you're
making copies of. AND i agree with john, in saying that i would never
pay more than 2.75 on a blank cd-r. and im not giving into the
bullshit of buying only sony or tdk or some other brand name because
they supposedly skip less or you a less chance of having some sort of
error while recording onto the disc, because i've burned maybe about
almost 300 discs so far with my burner and have had only three errors
where i had to throw away the blank cd-r and start the session over
again, AND the three times it happened it was with brand name cd-rs,
two times with maxell and once with sony. my guess is it has nothing to
do with the brand. and about the price of cd-rs, there was a sale at
fry's electronics, which are scattered around northern california, for
blank philips cd-rs for 1.95 each with no minimum order, the sale was
last week so i did not hesitate to go over and buy 180.00 dollars worth
of discs, that's 90 damn discs! if you were paying 5.00 dollars a disc
you would only get 38 discs for that price. and im tax exempt so
things are a bit cheaper, but besides that i would never pay $5.00 for
a blank cd-r. even the wholesale price is more than 1.95, the cheapest
wholesale price in the US for 50 to 100 discs was either 2.39 or 2.49,
but you have be a retailer to buy them, so most people would have a
problem buying them anyway.
