Floor scrapings are the only kind CMC Magnetics makes. TDK CD-Rs used
to be Taiyo-Yuden, which is the best. I routinely bought them at Costco.
One day I had a spindle of which nearly 50% of the discs were bad, and
checking the ATIP data, they were CMC Magnetics. I've never bought
TDK CD-R media since. I can only guess that some bean counter at TDK
refused to pay for T-Y when CMCM is so much cheaper. Possibly TDK has
switched to something else by now, but I'll never find out first-hand.
