CDRs vs. CDs with sugar on top
I do agree that a stamped CD is thicker sounding and (if mastered correctly)
can really fit the dynamic measurements needed to utilise a great system.
And please don't get me wrong `cuz of course sound quality is nothing to bat
an eye at. Yet still if you get a burn from someone, and the music "rules"..
then what's stopping you from making another one via a burn if you are
affraid of it dyin on ya? I'm just not sure if the 25 year life span of a
CDR vs. the 100 year(or so)life span of a CD is really all that noticably
reasonable to take into account considering the rate that media changes.
That is unless your a collector.. :) but I think we'll all be "upgrading"
our media in 10 years anyhow.. if not sooner.. giggle..
Know what I'm sayin..?
...that's what I meant by the industry standard/marketing comment.
but Ya, I agree with you two. Yet I still stand by my comment.. only cuz
that's just my silly opinion. As long as the music on the medium is good.. I
say who cares.

Agreed the trouble is not whether the label is CDR och CD. But I have
bought much more CDR:s with a very sloppy, harsh sound-quality than
CD:s. And this fact might give CDR-releases a bad name outside the
most enthusiastic collectors. I dont know, just speculation here.
It's probably just me that is overly sensitive about this but I really
enjoy a good quality recording which effortlessly presents different
layers/strands of the music.
I am not talking about frequency responses or nerdy stuff, just
choosing good sounding equipment and a little know-how on mixing,
mastering and psychoacoustics. Of course there will always be special
events/moments that will shine even through the high information loss
of a bad-sounding release but in general there is no excuse to make it
iunnecessarily hard to appreciate the music.
