I would reiterate the caution not to freeze CDs. The flippant topic title
that started this thread may lead some to think that would be a good idea.=
Besides, do you really know if that light in the freezer goes out when you =
close the
door?
If you want discs that are good for slow (or real time) burns these days,
seek out the discs rated for "digital audio". These discs' original distinc=
tion
was that they were authorized (at somewhat extra cost, to satisfy the recor=
d
companies' royalty lust) to work in consumer audio CD burners with SCMS cop=
y
restrictions. But they're quickly becoming the only discs we know are rated=
for
real time burns as others escalate the x factor.
MAM-A (nee Mitsui) makes a line of them, orderable in singles or by the
hundred. A few cents more per disc than the non-"digital audio" discs, but =
worth it
for the real time 1x burn certification. (Interestingly, MAM-A rates these=
same discs for up to 52x computer burns!)
