For those who use CDs for music, which writable CD type do you use, and why?

Main differences:

  • CD-R can only be written once
  • CD-RW is more expensive

    Used audio CDs are so cheap (most are anyways) that I don’t see any point in making your own, other than making a physical play list.

    Thinking about it, I have two optical drives in my PC and never even used them to burn a CD…

        I’ve never paid that much for a used CD on eBay and I don’t think I only listen to popular or well-known artists…

        Try the Discogs Marketplace if you haven’t had any luck on eBay, sellers there tend to know a bit more about how much their stuff is worth. It’s pretty nice if you’re looking for a particular pressing, too.

          i live in australia, and i can only find sales from europe or america (even on discogs). even without shipping, the cheapest i can find are about 3€ or something, wheres a CD-R costs about 1$AUD each. also shipping can take about 2 weeks
