Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have a 2001 Accord Type-V, which is very nice, but I'm looking for
some advice re-the Bose single CD player that comes with it.

I don't like to use my original CDs in my car, so I always make and
use copies.

My copies are prone to skipping, whereas if I try an original CD, it
doesn't skip at all. The copies skip on certain types of road
surface, to it's a vibration/media problem, so I suspect that I need
to find another brand of CDRs to use for copies.

Anyone know of a good brand, or can point me in the direction of
someone who can?

Thanks

IanM

Have a look at this:

http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq07.html#S7-2

but the short answer is, I'd try Taiyo Yuden blanks. They are generally
very well-regarded in terms of longevity and error rates and are the
preferred media for most music traders. They manufacture discs for a
number of companies, a list of which can be found here:

For any of the listed brands, you need to be sure the discs are
indicated as having been made in Japan to be sure they're TY.

If you really want to experiment with the absolute top-of-the-line when
it comes to recordable media, try MAM-A:

which uses gold instead of aluminum for the discs, as they're intended
primarily for archival applications.
