You can do less than 100 with discmakers - I did 25 once - but I wouldn't recommend it - it's just not cost effective.
I posted some info on how I'm rolling my own CD's a while ago... here's a recap:
I bought an Epson Stylus Photo RX595 from Best Buy - $99. It can print directly on CD's. I had some plain white printable CD's hanging around - printed a CD on it. It looked... eh. Better than a sticker label, but not very nice.
Then I bought 100 ultra hydroshield blank CD's from discmakers. They're glossy and water resistant. WOW!!! It looks freaking AWESOME. Looks as good as any commercial CD I've ever bought. The cost is about 61 cents per disc.
If you're wanting to make your own CD's, I'd highly recommend the combo I got - Epson Stylus Photo RX595 and some ultra hydroshield discs from discmakers.
The other trick I've found is for printing the cover. You can buy double-sided gloss white brochure paper from Staples - This way you design and print a two-wide CD cover that you fold. Looks great, doesn't slip out easily. And gives you more real estate to put on pictures or lyrics or whatever you want.
If you're doing very small amounts, ie 5 CD's at a time, this is an awesome way to go. If you want to do 100 or more... I'd look into tunecore.
