Four months ago, I used this product and had no problems except the finished CDs did not play in one person's car player. With this stack every one of the first 15 CDs I made did not play in most equipment, although they played in the recorder where I copied them. It was very disconcerting to put them in other players and get nothing, or get something only after forwarding to the 3rd track. Didn't understand why this was happening. But I'll not buy them again. It was a waste of many hours since I was assuming they worked.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had this problem. My home recorder is a Pioneer, and until I bought these Memorex discs, I never had a problem recording. I bought one pack at Wal Mart or Target or something, and when I put in a disc to start recording, it wouldn't read it. I tried 3 more discs, and they all were unreadable. I returned them, and tried again at an online store (maybe I got a bad batch?). Same problem. So I always buy another brand of CD-R Music discs. These are pretty useless.

I have tried a handful of different CD-R's in the past few years, and these have the best quality. Memorex did a great job with these black CD-Rs.

The black colour on them looks great, as well.

I use these to burn audio cds, and every track sounds as crisp and clear as on the original cd. Another advantage to these are that you can see dust on them perfectly, so they are easier to maintain. There are absolutely no problems I have encountered with these cds, I highly recommend them.

these cds burn fine BUT they won't play in most cd players. I've tried it in two car aftermarket cd players, brand new mazda, and a brand new F1500 - they all did not read the cd. Most computers can read them, but other than that they are not very usable.

I wanted to try this Memorex CD-R, 80 Minute in the 10-pk box before committing to a 50-Pk spindle. I've had nothing but good luck with these CD-R's. (Not a coaster in the bunch!!)
If you aren't sure about getting that 50-pk spindle, go on and order the 10-Pack. Give them a try and (if you are as satisfied as I am with their performance) order that 50-pk spindle..you won't be disappointed!!

I finished up my last batch of these discs bought some time ago, without a problem. BUT the next batch purchased most recently will not record on my Philips CDR 765. There are too many different types of media discs and not labeled properly. Should be an industry standard that the consumer can readily see that they can use them. Not sure what to get now or if another brand will work properly.

Avoid a headache. I had the same problems with these new Memorex music CD-Rs. They will not work in my Philips CD audio deck, and as you can see in other reviews they don't work on most decks. I suspect they are plain digital CD-r's, or that the newer 40x discs will not work on Digital Audio decks. A design flaw at any rate. I have had great luck with older Memorex Music CD-Rs, but I believe they were 32x. I have no problem with Sony Music CD-rs which are easily available, and cheaper most places. However, Memorex is good with warranty service in my complaints about these.

Great for dummies who pay extra for music CD-Rs for their computer because they are copying their friends CDs!

Works well for recording music and voice on both my laptop and dedicated CD recorder.

I needed CDs that would work on my new Sony CD Recorder ... the Recorder will only record onto "music" CDs in the cda format. I didn't take this warning seriously at the outset (I didn't realize there was a difference between regular CDs and "music" CDs), and of course the machine wouldn't work. After a small amount of research, I bought this well-priced spindle ... and the recording has proceeded without any further hiccups.

Tested at 32x (I slowed my burner down a bit) and these work great in both my home stereo (panasonic) and car (saab 9-3). I haven't been able to find blank CD's that work in several years, they usually end up choppy with noise after the first few songs. Memorex has brought back whatever worked in the blank CD's of old, I can only hope they keep them in production as long as I have my car.

I can see from other reviews that these don't work for everyone, so as has been said, order a 10-pack first and give it a shot before buying a 50 pack.
