Unlike the other reviewers, I have never had any problem at all burning these CD-R's - and I have made over 60 of them. They make a perfect recording for me all the time (I have an internal ATAPI drive by Philips), with music and data, and the music CD's I make, play on every player we have - boombox to Pioneer Elite, including the car! One reviewer complained about how they look (huh??) - but I frankly don't see the problem. To me, these are flawless CD-R disks. You can't go wrong.

The HP CD-R that I got worked great. Very few problems recording and I have an almost full music CD on it. The only problem is that it left out ten seconds of music at the end of one of my songs.

Of all the CDR's that I've tried, I've never yet had HP CD media fail. I had about a 20% success rate with other brands. Since I have an external HP CD writer, I even contacted HP's support site, thinking there was something wrong with my hardware. But they said to go with HP media, since they're processed with the strictest quality controls in the industry. I thought, yeah, of course they're going to say that. But I've found HP CDRs and CDRWs to be extremely dependable (even though it took me a while to stop holding my breath while the recording time ticked down towards zero!) You can't go wrong with HP CD media.

Hewlett Packard CD-R's are okay, I have a couple of them and they work great. However, I don't recommend these CD-R's because they are so ugly. Pretty much, CD-R's are the same, I have preferences based on looks. I recommend getting Memorex 80 minute CD-R's because they are bigger and the look cool. Ricoh Platinum is what I use for storing data. Memorex 80 is what I use for music.
