Can you and is there any advantage to using a blank DVDr disk in a CDr recorder?

What is the best CD-r disk (mfg./source?)
to use in a realtime CD recorder to record music?

I have heard that CDr disks with dark sides (the side recorded on) are better??

Are there master CDr disks? (Mfg./source?)

I'd appreciate any thoughts

Thanks

Tom

You can't use a DVD recordable in a CD recorder.

In the matter of what's better, what's better is what works best for you.

Ihave tried both extensively and both work equally well.

Consider asking this question on a recording forum.

FWIW, I have read many threads on this subject and the winner, consistently, is a brand with an Asian name. Which escapes me. I'm sure this post is very helpful to you.

Verbatim gets pretty good compliments.

Tom's post spurred my memory. It is Taiyo Yuden. Link: http://tinyurl.com/olll2

26 cents each versus over a dollar for the gold mamajamas. Of course the gold ones have a 300 year shelf life. I don't know if my fans will live that long.
