Looking for CDR type...

[Entity]

My friend just found out that some of the CDRs I own (TDK "certified +", information posted below) work in his CD player. He's never had another type of CD work, but I'm thinking that he may just buy crap CDs - Memorex, etc. Anyway, we're looking to buy a bunch more CDRs now for work, and we want to get this type:

ATIP: 97m 26s 66f
Disc Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corp.
Reflective layer: Dye (Short strategy; e.g. Phthalocyanine)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)

I just found out that these don't work for him:

ATIP: 97m 24s 01f
Disc Manufacturer: Taiyo Yuden Company Ltd.
Reflective layer: Dye (Long strategy; e.g. Cyanine, Azo etc.)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 73f / LBA: 359848)

I'm guessing the main parts that are helpful are the CMC Magnetics and Phthalocyanine info, but either way, I'm just hoping to get more of this type of CD. Anyone know how I can find this?

Guess what, Memorex are the same disks as you want, according to Lite-on media check utility. The 40X memorex that is.

Really? I'll let him know.

I don't really care about the CDR quality, as they've all worked for me. Is there an online database where I can look up this kind of stuff?

have you tried CD-R Indentifier? not sure if that has the info you are looking for or not. I can't get the website to come up right now though, maybe you'll have better luck.

oh, and Hi Entity!

Heh. Hi, pyonir.

Yeah, I used CD-R Identifier to find out what type of CDs I had that worked for him. I can't figure out how to buy more of those, though.
