Are any brand/type of blank cd's compatible with macs?

Also, why doesn't Tiger have any basic CD burning utilities?

Any brand of CDR will work on the Mac; it's all up to your personal preference which to use. People tend to get religious about brands, so take that into consideration when you get recommendations.

I use whatever I get on sale at Fry's or Costco, which are big discount stores here in the US: right now I'm in the middle of a spindle of TDK CDRs and they're fine. I've used Sony, Maxell, Verbatim, and Imation in my iBook and they all worked fine.

Tiger does have "basic CD burning utilities": look at this page and then go halfway down to where it says "View size requirements for burn folders."

If you're talking about burning audio CDs, that's built into iTunes.

I say use any thing other than memorx. I tend to use Imation, Verbatim, Fujii and TDK.
