How does it sound like comparing to original ones?

Give it a try and you will find out for yourself..

Are you serious? It's obviously flawed comparing to the original!

--Just kidding. Assuming you have normally working burner, and good quality blank it will be absolutely identical.

My experience mirrors your 1st answer. Your 2nd answer only works when the original CD is also of good quality. So no scratches, fingermarks, etc.

You can use Accurate Rip with EAC and compare the md5sum to the other rips of the same CD to make sure it is 100% the same.

Or xACT, if you're on Mac (it gives a detailed error report).

Check sum verification is your friend. It puts the lie to audiophool nonsense.

What about quality of CD-R I use? I think it has important role to keep error less for playing back music.

The quality of CD-R may determine whether or not you get a perfect copy or not and how long the media will last. If your copy is perfect and the checksums are the same, then there will be no difference in sound quality from CD-R to another. A gold CD-R will not sound any better than a normal one.

Will we need an audiophile burner too?

^ You're better off using burrrn.

Its free and easy to use, so why not? Burn w/Cue Sheet if possible.

Here's a little blog entry that I wrote recently. Note that the comparison isn't between the yellow-packaged and blue-packaged Fujifilm CD-Rs, but a general comparison of no-name CD-Rs and branded CD-Rs.

Bottom line: My take is that for audio players, CD-R quality probably matters, as it won't read the bad parts of the disc again and again and again until it reads the bits right like a computer does. When you do a checksum check (or similar) using a computer, it might read the bad parts of the disc over and over again, and then determines that it's 100% the same as the original. But audio players don't do that.

Yes bad CDRs are crap, Taiyo Yuden is the best hands down.

That is precisely why many people are storing their lossless music on a PC.

I read in some place an article some time ago, about black CDs being better than the regular standard CDR's, not sure if it is true or not, it was an extensive article with measuments and graphics, etc....not sure about the validity of those claims, but just more voodoo will not harm...

I think it was this one here...
