Burn them onto Memorex Black CD-Rs (and they would sound better.)

Umm, perhaps.. but idk why they would magically sound better.. maybe if the CDs you are using are wal-mart brand and are absolutly horrible to the point where the medium (CD) would affect the quailty of files on the medium (the music)

I would have said flat-out no way in hell does it matter, but theres a small chance that medium would play better in certain cd players but it wouldn't effect the quailty of the song files.

Let me try to explain. The quality of the CDs originally are poor in general.
Memorex Black is an expensive, archival grade(very long life) CD-R.($12 for 30) at WalMart.
Using software designed to pull(read) the factory rcording CD to extract the most information.
Recorded to your hard drive then recorded to said Mem Black at a much lower speed(to control errors in read and noise ) you actually pick up more information.
You can Google (recording with Memorex Black CD-Rs) for more information.
The result can be significantly better sound over all.
This doesn't quite explain all that is going on. But, it is proven.
I do it to all my CDs! The sound is more LP(analog) like.

cool, i'll give it a try! i'm burning 20-30 cds per week right now before the major crackdown takes place, that and i;m listening to about an album and a half a day driving around. i've used the black before, for cd's and video games.. just didn't think it would really matter what cd you use so much as the quality of the file your using. i would think your specific burner would effect quality more than the cd, but i will give it a try taos, thanks

For those lawyers out there.
The way the law is written you may make CD copies "for personal use".
Any selling or even handing out of copies is verboten!
