I am going to copy some music to play in my car CD player. I have had some CD's with drop out problems in certain sections of the disc. I was wondering what is a good brand of CD's to burn to that will last. Also I heard that it is better to burn at a slow speed ie 4X to get good quality recordings. Also I see some CD media is labeled for music and some CD media is labeled for media. Of course I know that the media will play in my cd player but is it better to spend the extra money on the music CD's to get better quality CD's

Personally I like TDK CDs. But I've used several different ones over the years and the only ones that were really any problem were some of the in-store brands from Circuit City, etc.
As far as I know you don't get better quality CDs if you buy music CDs. I've never found any difference between music and data media other than price. I believe the music media costs more because a percentage of the cost is a royalty paid to the music industry. -
Yeah there's no real difference between music and regular CDRs, the music ones just have a media tax on them to subsidize the music industry and most if not all hardware audio recorders require music cdrs.

Not to insult anyone, but TDK discs are crap. They use a dye that is known to be inferior. This may be more than you really want to pay but

sells Gold Archive quality CD-Rs that use a good quality dye known to last and they have a gold layer because gold is known to not oxidize. If you want to save a little money, their Silver discs should be pretty good.
There's no real difference between whether a disc is marked for data or music, but the dye that is used could be important if you care about long term use of the disc. -
