We have been purchasing these cd-r's for our church sound ministry. They are not rejected by our cd duplicator as some other brands are.

I cant tell you anything you dont already know about CDRs. These are fine and I never buy white label for my data.

Great buy on a good product. I have had no difficulties or problems with this product and at about $.10 each they are a phenomenal buy.

i have to say that for the money this is the best cdr sound quality wise also there very easy 2 write on

Good discs and cheap... and just a tip, if you're having problems burning cds at all, or all the way through, try lowering the writing speed.

maxell has been one of my trusted use for blank discs for longer than i can remember.

up until sometime in 2005...when maxell changed their discs.

heres the difference

the 2004 model has the maxell guy on rhe left, and the cdr/80/700 tihng on the right. on the top it says maxell in big letters. also if you feel the background, it is a whole lot more stable. it doesnt chip easily. also the plastic used was not scratched easily.

the 2005/2006 model is a whole lot worse. it says cd-r onl eft, highlighted. on top of that it has maxell in small letters. on the right it says 80/700 and the maxell guy is right below it. the top of the disc is obviously used with cheaper material, and it scratches easily.

another thing noticeable from the two is burn errors. ive had no burn errors at all with either of the 2004 models (regular or music). on the 2005 model at least 80% failed.

also when using nero express i tested imation and sony cd-rs just to make sure my recorder was ok. imation had a 10% fail rate and sony had a 0% fail rate...my recorder works fine.

also, i tried burning at slower speed with no better results.

why would imation and sony work on my computer and maxell wouldnt. because maxell cd-rs are garbage. avoid at all costs get imation sony or get maxell but only if the discs look like i explained on the 2004 modle becuase those were literally the best cdrs ive ever owned.

THESE MAXELL DISKS ARE PRODICS AND MOST OF THEM BURNED AS COASTERS. HARDDRIVE IS DEFRAGGED AND EVERYTHING SO NO ROOMFOR ERROR, OTHER CDS BURN PERFECTLY, THESE ARE A BAD BATCH OF PRODISCS THAT MAXELL IS SELLING, MAXELL HAS LET ME DOWN, THEY USED TO BE THE BEST :(

ON A PLUS SIDE I HAVE SEEN THAT WHEN BURNING THESE DISC'S AT 8X THEY BURN FLAWLESSLY, SO I GUESS ITS A TRADEOFF FOR THE PRICE.
