Who do you think manufacture's the best CD-R media? I am not talking about the brand on the label, rather the manufactures with factories that actually makes the disc.
DO NOT answer the poll based on the label brand. Try to figure out who makes your disc and make your best guess from there.
Identification methods
Every CD-R's stamp has manufacture code encded into them and this can be read back using
CDR Identifier. This program requires an Adaptec ASPI by the way.
Most of the time, the manufacture name reported by CDR ID is correct, but the only thing you're sure of is the name of the manufacture that makes the CD master stamp. If someone else buys the stamp, it will still stamp same code into their discs.
Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui DO NOT sell their stamps, so if it says Taiyo Yuden or Mitsui, you can be assured its made by them.
Also, another way of identifying CD-R origin is the spindle. Gray or black base with crystal clear, solid, fragile covers are Ritek OEM's. The labeling and packing is all done by Ritek as an OEM order.
Three piece spindle consisting of bottom spindle with a shaft, transparent mily white cover and a 2" knob is Taiyo Yuden OEM
gray or black base with one piece, milky white top is used by many manufactures and it is hard to ID them. CMC shippings strictly use this spindle(thus Imations always comes in this package)
no its not an error. TDK no longer manufacture's their CD. It is OEM'ed from TY or one of the Taiwan giants
