Yup. Odd shaped CDs have been a thing for a while. One example:

u/baconstargallacticat · 18 pointsr/apple

Here's a 16GB flash drive for $6.50, and a 50-pack of cd-rws is $9.84. So essentially you're paying 25% more for the same amount of storage on a flash drive, but the time it takes to burn 25 disks is 25x the time to copy 16 gigs to that flash drive. Optical drives are dead.

u/NessInOnett · 15 pointsr/computers

They're called business card CDs.

https://www.amazon.com/Business-Shiny-Silver-Vinyl-Sleeves/dp/B003WRHP7E

Very low capacity and compatible with all standard tray-based cd/dvd players in computers. They fit into the inner ring of the tray:

Yours probably had a trailer on it, or some wallpapers or some other kind of extras.

want:This Nintendo poster for my house

need: These pencil sharpeners for my classroom

wear: This crayon costume

read: This poster for my classroom for my classroom

watch: A gift card so I can go see whatever movie I want

listen to: Some blank cds so that I can burn some cds

The red one is the one I want. But the one with the familiar faces is cool too.

u/SoanaIRL · 3 pointsr/weddingplanning

They do make CDs that look like vinyl if you decide to go this route.

u/RebootRevival · 3 pointsr/dreamcast

Taiyo Yuden. Are considered the best. There are a few different partners for TY but JVC is supposed to be the best version. But they are all speciality disc and not as easy to get as verbatim. For Standard consumer discs, verbatim are considered to be the best. Different media has different sweet spots on write speeds. Memorex CD-rs work just fine on the dreamcast on low burn speeds with a good burner. Just read up on how CD's are burned and it should help with figuring out read problems of back ups.

u/parawing742 · 3 pointsr/amazon

It is a pain-in-the-ass. Here's how it works: say you buy (or need to buy) a bunch of a certain product like CD-Rs. That spindle of 100 Verbatim discs costs $29.99 so you call your account manager and they "discount" the price to $19 because you're such a good customer.

...or you can just buy it even cheaper on Amazon for $17 without any hassle!

The company I work for uses Staples Advantage because it's "simplier." I have no idea why.

u/QuadPizzas · 3 pointsr/emulation

This was true at the time. Between then and the DVD-Rs catching on in popularity, 900MB CDs have been created to replace the old 650MB CDs: https://www.amazon.com/CD-R-100-Min-MediaRange-Cakebox/dp/B000R4LZ3A

So at most a GD-ROM has 200MB more (20%) than what the CD can handle, instead of 650MB more (100%), so you don't have to deal with god awful compression and use a slightly less aggressive one. Not to mention, most DC games did not utilize the entirety of the GD-ROM, so the pirated copy did not suffer in any way - which holds true even for the 650MB CDs.

Just take your image, convert it to CHD (removes all of the padding from the end of the image), and if it's less than 900MB in size - use Alcohol 120% to burn it to your CD in MIL-CD format. That's all, and it works for the vast majority of games.

u/tbonanno · 3 pointsr/Metallica

CDs can have 1 or 2 sides writeable: see this

u/Abraham_Sapien · 2 pointsr/BlackPeopleTwitter
u/r2deetard · 2 pointsr/dreamcast

I had some burning issues at first. I ended up using a better quality disk and haven't had a dud since. These are the best you can get. I bought Taiyo Yuden disks and have had excellent results. Get them now, because they have been discontinued.

u/twofiftyeight · 2 pointsr/Pokemongiveaway

I used my soft modded Wii, but I know that it is possible to mod your GameCube to play pocket CD-R's but I am not sure what you need in order to do so.

u/sbeloud · 2 pointsr/news

Totally correct, except for artist like The Black Keys that are very strict analog only guys.

But I was referring to finding this https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-Digital-Multicolor-Spindle-94488/dp/B00009WO51

u/efflixi · 2 pointsr/Infographics

This seems terribly inaccurate for some things. 6gbp for a GB of CD's? That's roughly $10 for less than 2 cd's...

http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-Branded-Recordable-50-Disc-94691/dp/B00029U1DK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1463441659&sr=8-2&keywords=cd%27s You can get 100 disks for less than twice the price listed on there.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Music

You can burn your own black CDs.
(They're actually a very, very, very dark red so that the red CD laser can shine through them.)

u/Malemocynt · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I have doubts the "grooves" in that CD contain music.

I actually have seen CDRs for sale in small quantities that have the label side stamped to look like a vinyl record, grooves and all.

u/DustbinK · 1 pointr/EmoScreamo

> You had to buy a cd player/stereo/laptop/etc at one point, did you not? I'm not understanding the argument of cost.

Yeah, but my point being is that you likely still have a capable device around. Tape decks? Quite a bit older and less people still have this equipment. Tape decks also lack the multiple use scenario of a CD/DVD drive. Software, data, games, movies, and music all come on discs so the things that play these discs are much more ubiquitous.

>CDs can be found for around $0.30 each

http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-94691-Branded-Recordable-50-Disc/dp/B00029U1DK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375136983&sr=8-1&keywords=blank+cd

$0.20 a CD. So half the cost compared to your number and it only goes cheaper the more bulk you go for.

Let's spend $10 on tapes now to make this purely an Amazon comparison. http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-UR-60-Blank-Audio-Cassette/dp/B000087NBV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375137258&sr=8-1&keywords=blank+tape

Well, can't do that, so let's get two of these and spend $12.

$0.75/tape.

You keep bringing up how much they're sold for and that's besides the point. They're selling them for cheaper than CDs because of the market they're selling them to. According to the numbers here it's actually giving the labels a much smaller profit margin.

Tape doesn't have the large album art of vinyl nor the sound quality of vinyl or CDs. They have what, portability? That is why 8 tracks lost according to some. But I'm sure no one is still using that portable tape deck.

u/circuit_icon · 1 pointr/TurboGrafx

I read that elsewhere as well. But would it fix the issue I'm having?


These guys, right?


I'd rather get a 10 pack, but looks like they only sell the 100 pack.

u/Isofruit · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

If 60% more is the price of a Cartridge...well, let's see. I, as normal person, can get a BluRay 50Gb for ~2$/BluRay on Amazon (16.80 € for 10 BluRays = 1.68€/Bluray = 2.02 $/Bluray). Assuming that is the price you pay in the game industry is pretty generous because of bulk discount, but let's ignore that. 2*1.6 = 3.2
So the price difference is 1.2$, at the most, if those 60% aren't imaginary. Now can somebody explain to me where the other 8.8$ come from that drive up the price?

Seriously, I don't believe a single word I'm hearing at this point, especially since it's so really friggin hard to get any numbers for how much a cartridge costs. This feels like most of the people that bother explaining the price difference have just united on the excuse that it's cartridge prices that drive up the cost. And I call bs on the cartridge alone being the reason.

u/Shentok · 1 pointr/SegaSaturn

Either a bad dump or bad blank discs. I saw you mentioned Verbatim which are generally low quality discs and will have trouble streaming audio and data to your Saturn.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R6B6FI/

These are the only discs I've come across that work on both the Saturn and Sega CD with zero issues. There is another that looks similar by CMC that has issues. Be sure it's JVC Taiyo Yuden.

u/R2Dork · 1 pointr/SegaCD

I use these Taiyo Yuden CDRs from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HFBO78W Burning with LiquidCD https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19994/liquidcd on my old iMac's slowest speed (8x i think). No issues so far.

Hey! Happy early birthday! I'm feelin' great today too; it must be in the air! Anyway, I dunno if you have prime or not, but I'd love [these blank CD's] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009WO51/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1TXT7ADV3OFZM&coliid=I1Q2XBFN4UGA4L) so I can burn some new ones before school starts back up! I love that the look like 7-inches but are actually CD's, but part of me feels like I'm cheating. :o

If you don't have prime, which I totally get, I'd love [this captive bead ring] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GRY46N0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1TXT7ADV3OFZM&coliid=I5O2I87OHZQFI&psc=1) although I can't decide if it would look better in my septum or my cartilage, which I guess depends on how big the rose turns out to be.

How was warped!? My friend works booths there usually for our blood bank- I think she was there! Crazily enough her name is Chloe. :o

What are your birthday plans? How old will you be?

u/bmatt17 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Where in the hell do you live that wants $50 for 20 blank cd's?

They're $12 for 50 on Amazon.

u/ILL_PM_WHAT_YOU_ASK · 1 pointr/news

> But he was only selling the CDs for basically cost at .25$ a piece- so it clearly wasn't a money grab.


Do the math, man, he made 28000 copies. (For instance) if he buys 280 packs of 100 of these blank disks, it would cost him (more or less) 4760 US$, selling each disk at .25c would make 7000 US$, it's 2240 US$ in profit. Sure that's nothing for a guy like him, but it's a lot considering he was using freely available and copyrighted software and a copyrighted logo to make the costumer believe it was a legit Microsoft product. And dude, it was 28000 copies!, that's a large counterfeit operation, not 10 or 20 spare backups like most IT guys do.

u/Jinzo_9 · 1 pointr/brasil

Eu até tava vendo esse PSIO, mas o meu PS1 é o SCPH-9001, sem porta paralela :(

O infortúnio também, é que o gravador de DVD/CD do meu PC aceita no mínimo 8x, e ele é ATAPI também. Estou correndo atrás de um IDE antiguinho pra ver se consigo gravar esses jogos em 1x.

Mas essas mídias da Sony você diz tipo essas aqui?

u/mmmeadi · 1 pointr/vinyl

I don't know anything about labels so I won't even go there. But just taking a quick scan on amazon, Vessels by Twenty-one Pilots, Froot by Marina and the Diamonds, and Nevermind by Nirvana are all cheaper on CD than cassette.

Further, if we're talking about the DIY scene, a box of ten type II cassettes costs 27.95 USD, a box of ten type I cassettes costs 20.50 USD, while a 100 pack of CD-Rs costs 16.47 USD. So as far as I can tell, buying and selling music on cassette is significantly more expensive than CDs.

Edit: Formatting.

u/Irni4life · 1 pointr/dreamcast

I'm using Verbatim yeah, these in particular: Verbatim 43432 - Pack de 25 CD-R https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0006BC3DK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xC80BbBPG684D

As for the Dreamcast revision number, I don't really see it, maybe cause it's japanese? The only information i can give its that it is a MODEL No.HTK-3000 UGO DENSHI.

I looked for it for a while and i couldn't see it anywhere.

u/willrobot · 1 pointr/zines

Mini-cds give you the ease of dealing with cds along with their low cost with a little bit of the pizazz of being just a little to the side of normal.

https://www.amazon.com/Memorex-Minute-Mini-Discs-50-Pack-Spindle/dp/B00005NHGP/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1497915603&sr=8-7&keywords=mini+cd-r

that sort of thing. It makes up for CDs not quite being retro by being a little weird.

u/Troggie42 · 1 pointr/Music

No. No fucking way this is true. I can go on Amazon right now and get 1000 CDs for $140. A 15 pack of cassettes is about $18. Using that as a basis, 1000 cassettes would cost $1200. Considering the cost of recording the music is the same, putting them on casettes, in material costs alone, is astronomically cheaper.

u/sambqt · 1 pointr/technology

She could try one of these. And buy her a stack of these and maybe a bunch of these, too. Tell her they take up a lot less room than the tapes and she can still label the cases. Maybe you can eventually get her to just connect a hard drive to her dvr and tell her it's still essentially a like physical copy, just on a more compact unit. If not, hopefully she's still happy with the dvd recorder.

u/rpare89 · 1 pointr/audiophile

I think youre being a little harsh on people who are only trying to help you out. Congrats on your thrift store vintage blank media purchase. (theres something I never thought Id say.) If you're looking to back up a music collection to hard copy for playback on CD players then you're probably going to need a pretty big stack of discs (depending on your music collection, it can get pretty expensive), its an older format and has very limited data capacity 700mb or 70 minutes of music I believe. Because the music is being stored digitally as opposed to analog there is really no difference between discs. Now you spent $10 on 20 discs where on amazon you could have spent $20 on 100 CD-R discs, so it turns out per disc to be much cheaper and you can store up to 6.8 gigs of data or 116 hours of music. AMAZON 100 CD-R $20 BTW another good thing about newer CD-Rs and DVD-Rs is MUCH MUCH faster writing speeds. CDRs now can manage up to 52x and DVDR can do about 16x, where as your thrift shop CDRs can probably only manage 4x

Now if you just want to back up music to hardcopy for archival purposes (to be copied back to a computer at a later date, in case of hard drive failure) then DVD-R is definitely the way to go. 100 DVD-R $22 now you can store 470 gigs of data, which is probably more than enough to back up your entire music library Im sure at only a smaller increase in price that is still cheaper (per disc) than your vintage CD-Rs. If you're an audiophile with an extensive Lossless collection (fortunately for dead heads like me this is a rather easy thing to come by) then DVD-R will allow you to back up your music in fewer discs which would be much easier to handle.

I hope thats a detailed enough answer to help you make an informed decision on how to back up your media, and in the future please dont bite the heads off of people who are really only trying to help you out.

u/Capt_DMFiat · 1 pointr/writing

Well, he only wants to put a book on it, so storage size isn't a concern as books are small. CD-Roms are cheap so you can buy literally 100 CD-Roms for $16.47.
