MAM-A silver music cd-rs are manufactured in Colorado and MAM-A claims that their discs are of the highest quality and very long lasting. I have never heard of anyone having a problem with them. If anyone has please let us know.

100 80 minute music cd-rs cost $40 direct from the factory. Here is the link to these discs:

I have used and read about other's experience with cd-rs pretty extensively. My opinion and what my reading on the topic tells me is that MAM-A and Taiyo Yuden made in Japan (ask before you order and the wrapping will say Made In Japan) are top quality music cd-rs.

I don't think that Fujifilm makes music cd-rs and other brands like Sony, Maxell and Memorex are considered second tier brands. You may never have a problem with bad discs or longevity with them but they are not considered to be the same quality as MAM-A or TY by hard core cd-r users.

There are probably other music cd-rs that are as good as my top two but I am not aware of them.
One more thing Bianchi, Keep your cd-rs out of the light. Not just direct sunlight but even ambient light in your home. Exposure to light will render your cd-rs unplayable over time.

Bags Unlimited has all the music storage items you will ever need. I buy cardboard boxes that are made for storing cds and cd-rs. Whatever you buy for storage it must be opaque.
