Purchased these on a whim, but almost all the CD-R's copy improperly (static on audio, unrecognizable tracks). Even budget silver CD-Rs perform better than these. Avoid at all costs.

Yeah the colors are beautiful, but the problem is that most (80% at least) of the colors don't work in CD burners. I could only get the yellow and the black to work in my CD burner, the rest of them I had to throw away because the burner didn't even recognize them as blank CDs.

I have one of the newer, top of the line burners that is supposed to burn information on just about anything. Well, it wouldn't burn on these pieces of crap.

Never again!

Now I know why these were on such heavy discount at another retailer... I'd say that only about 25% of the discs have worked so far. Either they won't burn, or won't play correctly. The ones that burn seem to either not work in CD players, or they skip horribly. They look great though - LOL!

I thought I was going crazy or there was dust all over my Superdrive until I came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem I have been, and they are. I've had throw away 14 of the 25, with only 8 burning normally so far. The defective ones would just sit in the computer for minutes while the computer tried to figure out what they were, and when it was finally able to id them as blank cds, they would burn improperly - it would start and finish burning in about 5 seconds, and then I had a neat little coaster . . .

Quite simply these do not work... I have a brand new Dell M1530 with a top of the line burner and it will not recognize these disks. I have tried several colors and they won't burn. There's a beautiful red Memorex "coaster" on my desk as I type this. Junk!

I wondered why I was unable to copy video to certain "Cool Colors" (red and yellow!) Had I know that this was a problem, I would have bought the "Tried and True" silver...I'll know better next time. Three stars for the product...

This is the second spindle of Memorex recordable media I've had to trash because they are not compatible with my Macbook Pro - I earlier tossed a pack of 25 Memorex DVDs, too. Shame on me for getting fooled twice, I guess. I'll never buy Memorex media again, that's for certain. I have no problems using Sony media with my machine, and I will stick to that brand even though it costs a bit more.

I have been looking for these as they were the last blanks I had that worked well in my cd player. Not to say they work any better than other high quality cd-r's only that I cheaped out and bought a big pack of maxell discs and they don't work. I've thrown out at least half of the discs I've tried to use.

These discs are great, and the colors are so nifty. It's not just a colored label, the entire CD is the color. They're lovely. Great for gifts, especially for people who like shiny things.

These cds are great! They have great amounts of time on them (80 minutes) and they work on just about every cd. I had a box for quite a while and just couldn't stop using them. I made a bunch of cds for my friends and family. I definitly recomend these blank cds to anyone who knows how to use a cd burner.
