YMMV - Maxell Taiyo Yuden CD-R @ Sams!

[uraloony]

YMMV, I just got back from Sams Club in Rochester, NY where they had 75 packs of Maxell Music CD-Rs for $16.33 a pop. Noticing the made in Japan on the side, I grabbed a couple of spindles and sure enough they were Taiyo Yudens.

Not bad. 22 cents a disc for 32X Taiyo Yuden Music CD-Rs!

Enjoy!

What's the difference between regular CD-R's and music CD-R's?

None.

Did you mean to say that they have packs of 75 cdrs? I think that's what you mean if I work out the math. Just wasn't clear if you were trying to say that they have a ton of them or what. I'll have to send my sis to get.

Functionally, absolutely nothing.

Sorry about that. Yes, there are 75 discs per spindle.

For those who don't know, "Music CD-Rs" have a built in royalty that goes straight to the RIAA. On most stand-alone recording appliances, it says to "Only use certified "Music CD-Rs" in this product". *Harumph* I was always curious if standard CD-Rs would work in them... My roommate had a CD duplicator, but I never had a chance to play with it.

The sams i work at is also carrying these by the boatload.

My brother-in-law has a non-pc cd recorder(Bet you thought is was only a creepy rumor that some things didn't have a pc connected to them.)

It doesn't work with a cd unless it's a "music cd".

It refueses to record to a regular blank cd.

Probably, you know, for our own protection.......

I just got back from sams here and they still have thes, they are indeed taiyo yudens. I can find som others a little cheaper here (like the philips at office depot) but for TY's I believe it's a good price.

hey xsquid, besides the ill. photo paper and these maxell cdr's, any other good deals @ Sam's I should look for?! Thanks

I got avery textured half fold greeting card's there in the 50 packs for what i remember to be a decent price, compared to the small packs in other stores, but I don't remember what they cost as it's been a while. If you're not going to refill I noticed today that they have the canon branded BCI-3eBk pigment black carts in two packs for 21.+ It's really not a bad price because these carts are bigger and I think they retail for 15. each. I don't print a lot of thext, which is what this cart is for and since it's decent size I might not even refill it and get them there. One will probably last me for a very long time as I print mostly photo's and very little else. They show the other carts there for 9.+ online, but they didn't have them at our store. I refill those anyway, but for those that don't it's not a bad local price if they have them in their local stores.

Other than that I didn't really notice much else because the wife was with me and we were there for mostly grocery type stuff. We got a strawberry cream cheese bundt cake that was outstanding, very moist.

my brother-in-law's dj equipment only plays music cd-rs (so if you wanted him to play something...you would have to burn it on a music cd-r). my car also only takes music cd-r...which sucks.

anyways...i need some good quality cd-rs and these sound like them but how do you know these are taiyo yuden? i know for dvds you can use dvd identifier but how about cds?

thanks
