I am with you on the "Staples" brand CDRs I use them without issue in the studio, on the computer and in players without problems! As slow as it sounds I burn at 4X
I burn discs all the time - just getting ready to do my first couple of 'digi-gigs' this weekend as a matter of fact...
Ditto what others have said:
1) Low(est) burn speed possible.
2) Experiment with different software products/bundles for burning. I had TONS of problems using iTunes to burn cd's for play on my pro-grade players. Now I exclusively use Winamp.
3) The source might have something to do with it as well. I have a couple of edits I did with various audio editing programs. Was editing/chopping in mp3 format, and exported finished product out to WAV. You wouldn't think the finished WAV file would have any issues, but it did on playback on my Denon deck. Probably an error in the editing software when converting the chopped/spliced mp3 to WAV.
There are a lot of variables to look at, and no one blanket answer just try different combos and swap out every conceivable variable in the chain. Also doesn't hurt to check the burnt disc in a player (preferably/ideally your performance deck) after burning to verify integrity.

Well, if it's any help...
I've tried some different brands and styles of CD-R over the years. Some were good, some were poor.
Then I learned about silver surface CD-Rs. In my experience, they make for a much better product than greenback blanks. They'll play in anything without a glitch.
My CD-R of choice is the 80-minute silver surface Verbatim.

Best Blank CDRs that I buy are either the TDK, Kodak FAQ or Verbatum
sorry if a few are Australian these are what I use
as I buy direct from the Manufactures
I burn at the lowest speed possible
(on a CDwriter its 2x speed)
(on a DVDwriter lowest is 16x speed as default)
why it does that why I wouldnt know
but have made heaps without a worry yet..
unless you call power outs and the cd stops mid burn, or the system resets
so yeah they are about the best around

Always use Music CDs if you are making CDAs. For MP3 burning the highest quality is better.
Music CDs Blanks are more expensive and they will work on anything.
