Next to impossible to get blank CDs these days?

Resverathrole

They didn't even have them in argos in Dublin. Do have to buy them online?

misstearheus

Eason Book-shop and some Pound-Shops.

Dealz have them. Also look in Tesco, they sometimes sell them off cheap.

Golden Discs and Tower records should have them. Ive seen VHS and cassette tapes in the past year.

Steviesol

They are a new thing in parts of Kerry.

I use Verbatim and buy them on Ebay

There are at least three of them on Talbot St. That sell packs. Handiest one for you is probably the nearest to the Connolly station. It's about four doors up from star pizza. Has lots of bongs and other smoking paraphernalia in the window. Can't miss it. Cheap as chips too.

If you hang them from your rear view mirror the speed vans cant clock you.

I had such frustration with those, that I could never try them again.

Always found them reliable. JVC-Taiyo Yuden are the best I have used but quite expensive.

Did you check the backstreet alleys, there are usually loads thrown there:

Remember the lads who made money off of burning cds and selling them on

You get a list with what cds they have and you make off what ones you wanted

When Skynet comes online the lads with stuff backed up on CD will be millionaires.

There's all sorts of technical issues with those. Say, you burn it and it works on your PC but it doesn't in the car. With the few that worked for me, only some of the track would copy over, and most of them would have poor quality sound.

I never had problems like that with the philips CDs.

https://powercity.ie/ sell Verbatim and Sony, as far as I can tell.

The brands like Sony, Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, bought batches in from manufacturers like Moser Baer (India) and Taiyo Yuden (Japan) and rebranded them with their own logos.

Sadly, Taiyo Yuden's blank media dept. is no more, they were the Rolls Royce of blank CD\DVD media, acquired by JVC, then closed.

The quality of brands like Moser Baer is umm.. questionable.

The likes of the 'Kodak' branded media sold in pound shops, has nothing to do with Kodak Gold media, available from the mid 1990s, up to the mid 2000s.

It wasn't that long ago you could get a 100 spindle Tesco own brand ones for about €15.

I'm seen five packs in Dealz recently.

If you can't find them and want to buy online you'd definitely get them on eBay. Or if you want to take a chance with cheaper ones Aliepress sells them. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?site=glo&ltype=wholesale&d=y&blanktest=0&origin=y&jump=afs&SearchText=cd-r&tc=af&page=4&initiative_id=SB_20180922084703&isViewCP=y

Got some few months ago in Argos Jervis
Seen em lately in Dealz too

Resverathrole

Got some in Dealz just there. Five for €1.50. Though I wouldn't expect the quality to be too good if it's dealz!

50 pack for €18.90 or a 25 pack for €7.90(both Verbatim CD-R) - why wouldn't you just buy two 25 packs ?

- Mix CDs.

- Back-ups for valuable CDs or discs from box sets that I want to play in the car but don't want to bring out with me.

- CDR copies of scratched CDs. Generally speaking a CD burner is more forgiving than a CD player so it's possible to "rescue" discs in this way.

What can blank cds do that a usb key or drop box / google drive or an mp3 player can't? Genuinely curious.

Power City is great for that kind of stuff, they sell all the blank CDs, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, even those mini tapes for video cameras! (D8?)
