Re: [ARSCLIST] Taiyo-Yuden out of business??



By the way, they also had a good sale a while back on TDK silver-back (ie no trademark) green-dye CDR's. I bought 100 and have used about 50 with no problems. Furthermore, these are definitely name-brand green-dyes because they play in my finicky car CD player whereas the generic El Cheapos that I use for conference transcripts don't agree with that player at all.

Remember, many CD's are now out of print. So the wise man or woman never keeps an original-issue CD in their car or portable. Make backup copies for on-the-go use and you'll thank yourself later.

I bought 300 of the blue-dye unbranded discs during American Digital's last sale (about 6 months ago) and I don't think I've had one bad one out of the batch, which is now down to the last 80 or so. And they work fine in real time on my HHB burner.

Their "Klone" brand blue-dye, made in Japan, has always worked well for me (no coasters, ever). I've used the Klone cheapest-stuff green-dye for years at work when we dupe hundreds of conference transcript CDR's and the only coasters are bottoms and tops of piles (which I've learned to just throw out in advance because they are often scuffed). We've never had a complaint or return on conference CDR's and now coming up on the 10th conference we do transcripts this way.

One man's experience, etc.

I just put in an order for CDRs for a project that I am working on for a radio station. The guy who does their ordering wrote back saying that:
"TaiyoYuden is no longer in business and those CD's are no longer
available".
Does anyone here know if that is true?
If so, does anyone have a suggestion for an alternate brand? (I am also using Mam-A, but need a cheaper alternative for access copies)


Thanks,
Matt Sohn
