I have blanks here ready to go, I paid $20 for three of them a year or two
ago, I won't do that again! I just had a look online for blanks and I can get
them on sale for $70 (50 2.4x dl). I don't think I'll go for that since I
just don't need so many. Have to shop around for better prices on dl media
for sure.
Maybe a .jigdo for those who want the dl disks would work?
