Re: [ARSCLIST] Taiyo-Yuden out of business??

By the way, they also had a good sale a while back on TDK silver-back (ie no trademark) green-dye 
CDR's. I bought 100 and have used about 50 with no problems. Furthermore, these are definitely 
name-brand green-dyes because they play in my finicky car CD player whereas the generic El Cheapos 
that I use for conference transcripts don't agree with that player at all.

Remember, many CD's are now out of print. So the wise man or woman never keeps an original-issue CD 
in their car or portable. Make backup copies for on-the-go use and you'll thank yourself later.
