Also a few years ago some CD players would not play color CDs. In fact I had one that didn’t. So I’ve been using non-colored CDs since. I do not know if that is still the case or not but why take a chance?

I have also lost data on those ultra cheap off brand CDs. If you stick with brand names (Verbatim, Memorex, TDK etc) you should be fine.

Lastly to insure a good burn burn at a slower rate. Although my CD burner and CDs are rated at 52x I burn my music at 24x. I know there is a lot of pros and cons about this however I have never lost any data when burning at 24x.

A very important fact is never burn faster than the CD media’s fastest recommended speed. Personally I always burn slower than the recommended speed but as you may have guessed by now I am a little paranoid! Once bitten twice shy

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
