I have a TASCAM CDRW-5000 that I use to make CDs from other media (right
now, from RTR tapes) - and I can't find any CD media that it will work
with
any more - it works fine with older media but I just used up my last old
CD - now what? any clues?

I see the responses from the others, and I sympathize. I have a Lite-On
DVD
recorder that won't accept DVDs that record at any higher rate than 8X,
and
I can't find 8X discs in the stores any more. I went to VSA, a vendor
that
sells all manner of discs and equipment, to get some more discs.

And I started shopping for a new DVD recorder.

Did you check for a update to it? I had a hp dvd recorder that was the
same
way. There was a firmware update for it that fixed it.

here is what TASCAM had to say in answer to my inquiry - I will presume that
the company's answer is definitive

The CD-RW5000 was designed around the low speed media (4x) that was
available at the time. Using higher speed media, the unit's operation will
probably be intermittent at best.

You may still find them online at some of these locations:
