I own a high-end CD burner and these TDK discs are the only ones by a major manufacturer that I have never had trouble with. Can't say the same for Maxell or (especially) Memorex.

I totally agree with David's review. These Music CD-R's are the best. Out of all the recording I do, I've only had a few defective discs. I use these CD-R's with the computer and my TDK Recorder, which is hooked up to my stereo system, making transfer from vinyl, cassette and audio from video and DVD really easy. Other brands do not always work properly with the TDK Recorder, and sometimes do not work properly when recording via the computer's CD Writer.

Some of the benefits I like with the TDK Music CD-R's: The under side of the disc is silver, not blue. The top side of the discs (the white ones) are perfect for affixing CD Labels.

The problem is, TDK Music CD-R's are becomming harder and harder to find at your local stores, and even online. Visiting the TDK website, they only carry the Music CD-R's in 10 packs. Why?! TDK is a well known brand name here in the States. Why can't this product be easily found?

I always purchase in bulk (usually by 100 pack spindles). I urge anyone, that is searching for TDK Music CD-R's to buy up in bulk. Before you know it, they won't be found anywhere.

I am a DJ, doing a lot of recording from Vinyl, burning my own CD-Rs etc. I also happen to have some relatively old CD players (like the Pioneer CDJ-700). These TDKs are the best CD-Rs I have found for both recording and playback. I have never had a single one go bad during recording. And they are THE ONLY ones that never skip or jump even on my older CD players (the other ones were the blue Verbatims that apparently disappeared a few years ago). I feel 100% confident when I DJ using these CD-Rs! When it comes to looks, their all-white surface is perfect for affixing labels (like another reviewer pointed out). Unfortunately I will agree with that same reviewer that they are getting harder & harder to find. I just hope they don't discontinue them!

When the package arrived and I took the CD's out,I didn't see any record speed on the cd's or the package,so I was concerned.I have a Philips CDR775 dual tray recorder/player and haven't been able to make any recordings lately.I kept getting "OPC ERRORS".I put the first of these discs in the tray and expected to see another OPC ERROR,but the player accepted it right away! I've made three recordings in a row with no problem.I'm convinced that my player is fine.I just haven't found any newer discs it'll accept,not even the new white label TDK 32x CD-R's.

The new TDK Music CD-Rs no longer work in my Pro CD recorder.I've never had a problem with TDK Music CD-Rs in the past but I've tried several spindles of the new CD-Rs with the new labels and packaging and they have been nothing but problems.I have contacted TDK several times about it but no reply!

I am very pleased with the quality of the CDs. I love burning my own music, and the previous brand I used would always get rejected by my Beemer's music system towards the end of the CD. Not the TDK's though. Totally worth the few more dollars!

I bought 4 packages of these and they were all defective/not for digital audio music recorders. I called tdk which make IMATION media. They told me to check out each disk and send them the defective ones. Well all 200 are defective. So they are gonna send me the correct ones for my recorder. My dual cd philips machine didnt recognize these disks which say tdk music. The recorder rejected every one. Either it gave a error or said insert disc meanwhile it was in there. I dont recommend these model # discs for the philips dual cd recorder. I always bought tdk all my life and since Imation is involved i no longer buy them. I use maxell only for the dual philips recorder. I bought 200 discs and work flawlessly. If you have the philips cd-r dual deck use the maxells they are worth it. They say on them cd-r music for DIGITAL AUDIO 80 min and are used for the philips dual deck.

I have settled on using TDK CDR's with my stand-alone audio recorder (Sony) and they have not given me any problems. My oldest are now only four years old but I have not yet noticed any "bronzing" of discs. I also prefer this product because TDK have not covered the disc surface with their logo. I think Memorex do that and I find it a little irritating. TDK use the smallest, subtle printing leaving me plenty of room to write my music program. Remember to always use a felt tip pen!

I have had problems burning music CDs for playback in my car. I used "good" brands like Sony. When I saw these described as Music CDs, I decided to give them a try. I've had much better luck. The price is the same, and they work as data CDs too.

I have about 200 live concerts that I burned onto TDK discs about 3 years ago. None of them are playable now. Going forward, I will only use Mitsui Gold cds.
