Before I start, I would like to remind people that compatability problems still exist with CDRW burners. Some media brands will just work better on certain hardware/burners. On reviews like these, it's best to state your burner as well so readers will have an idea of what media matches best with what hardware/burner. I would also like to remind people that compatability problems exists between CDRs and late model CD players - wether on a boombox or on your car's player.Ok now onto my review... I have a LiteOn CDRW 40x burner (on my old PC), Teac DVD+/CDRW combo burner and an LG-Hitachi 48x CDRW burner. Memorex media works flawlessly on all these burners! Music CDs that I made plays perfectly on all my components - 5-disc Sony caroussel from the early 90s, my DVD player from 2000 and the rest of my CD players in the house and not to mention my car's CD player. No problems at all. The only problem I encountered was when I made VCDs using these disc. They "sometimes" wouldn't work on my Panasonic DVD/VCD player (year 2000). They would give me playback problems such as pixelation and audio skipping! But when using another brand, such as TDK or Fuji, I don't get these playback problems. The Memorex VCD would work on my dirt-cheat Apex though. Further, establishing the idea that media do have compatability problems. Considering my hardware, the brands that gave me no problems at all were: TDK, Fuji and Maxell - they just work flawlessly on whatever I throw at them. I would put the Memorex up there with the other brands but they seem to be only good when it comes to music and data but now much on video projects. But since most people use their CDRs for music and data anyway, these CDRs are still a great buy in my opinion! I currently have TDKs and Memorexs.

It's Memorex! And with these CD-R's you're sure to have problem free burning of music and software. With other brands, I've experienced skipping, delamination of the optical material and burning errors but with these Memorex CD-R's, I've not had one problem.

I'm not sure what would cause a bad review of these things. I'm using a Mac g4 with an internal cd/dvd combo drive with great results. I've made music and data discs for a number of people with macs and windows machines. And for home cd systems and cars and they all worked perfectly.
So I'd have to say you will problably be OK with these, and if not selll them to a friend, they'll probably work for them, if they have another type of machine that is.

I would surely never buy anything by Memorex, Imation, Verbatim, Sony, or TDK, because they're disloyal.The ATIP on all of those brands are either Prodisc, RiTEK, Sony Corp. AKA Lead Data and CMC Magnetics, which are all the worst factories in the world. Do not buy this product, they cannot write 48x, and the pthalocyanine dye is terrible. Look for FujiFilm, they are all Taiyo Yuden manufactured, and I consider Taiyo Yuden to be the #1 manufacturer. Maxell 50 pack "audio" CD-R's are also Taiyo Yuden, they're the same thing except a different pre-groove telling a stand-alone burner it's an audio CD-R I repeat, DO NOT, BUY, THIS, PRODUCT
It's a waste of money for a piece of ...
No buffer-underruns yet November 25, 2003

I haven't used them all, but I haven't gotten a buffer underrun error yet. I have a 32X burner and it handles that speed just fine.
