 Good, But a Word of Warning... December 15, 2004

These CD-Rs will work with most systems. 95% of mine recorded just fine. The only problem I had was that over time, the white coating on the CD has started to peel off. This hasn't happened to all my discs, but a few of them have started to chip, causing problems with the playback.
In general, these are pretty good budget price CDs for everyday use. But if you're looking for something to save your songs or data for a long period of time, choose something else.
 Glitch Free discs, and they work in my car March 11, 2004

The odd thing about CD-R's is that certain manufacturers work in come players, but not in others. When a tech friend first mentioned that to me, I didn't believe it. So here's how it works. I have a regular Kenwood CD player (this does not apply to newer players who are CD-R-RW capable) My Kenwood will accept Memorex CD-R discs without any glitches. Sony's on the other hand don't work.
My brother also has a Kenwood CD in his car, and oddly enough the Memorex don't work in his car, but the Sony's do. So even within the same manufacturer, not even the same discs work. So if you have an older player, that is designed to play regular CD's find your manufacturer that works with your player, and load up on them. For me the Memorex works great.
Another interesting thing is that my older CDRW drive had a max speed of 6X. Unless I set it to record at only 2X, it would have skips. The new technology is great. I bought a Lite On CDRW which is a 52x32x52x, and it records a full speed without a single skip. So buying discs that run at 52x is a dream. I record a whole album in such a little bit of time, I can't believe it.
I never have a skip or any kind of problem with these Memorex discs, and the price here at Amazon is great. So I highly recommend them.

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's. Sometimes my thoughts are requested on recording equipment and electronics.
Memorex has been ultra reliable for me as a recording medium for blank CDR's. I have used a substantial amount over the years for both data and pictures (Notes on my Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and photos) and for various rock and roll albums.
The CD's have held up well and there have been very little that were defective right out of the package. While the quality control is a shade below the Fuji from Japan, in no way should Memorex be considered a poor second choice.
For maximum shelf life the recorded CD's should be in jewel cases and not in paper sleeves. If you are into making your own labels make sure to use the better quality paper. The inferior thin labels not only will curl up before they are placed on the CD but the glue will actually get into the CD itself. Many defective CD's are not the fault of the manufacturer but the consumer not using best judgment.
Enjoy the music and be well,

Decent Burn, some Failures, Middle of the Road Discs. August 31, 2004

Read all of the reviews for these discs and you will have very mixed emotions. Some people love them to death. Others claim they produce too many failed burns. Still others claim they burn nice, but don't last. All of these observations are true to some degree.
These discs aren't the highest quality CD-Rs, and they're not the worst either. Successful burning depends on a lot more than just disc quality, including which software you use and what speed you have it set to. If you set it to 52X, I can guarantee you that you will have some failures. Slow down the recording! 48x or even 32x are both acceptable, and will yield less failures. Don't be duped because your drive says "52X" on the front of it. Trust me on this one.
I can say from personal experience that I have had some failures with these discs. But they are cheap for a reason. I have to give this package a 4 instead of just a 3 simply because they are so cheap. Out of the $10 spindle, I've probably had $1.40 worth of failures. It's still cheaper than buying better ones of the shelf.
For those who must have high fidelity and highly reliable recordings, this may not be the disc for you. Invest in the Maxell or the TDK, which I have had a little more luck with. For those who just want extra discs to do backups and copy CDs, these discs give a decent bang for the buck.

these cds are good quality and most burn good. at times a couple out of a 50 pack may be bad but that is good compared to some other brands like hp where i had about 10 bad out of 50. i recommend these cds and i have been using them for quite awhile.
