 This is what I use, this is what I trust. Aug 23, 2002
By A. Estes
I burn a lot of music. When I first got my CD-burner, I wasn't exactly cautious about what brands to use. I started off with a lot of the cheap 25 pack no-names (the kind you find dirt cheap at [a local store]) thinking, "they're all the same, how can the quality be any different?" Well, even though THOSE brands initially recorded the data just fine, I noticed a decrease in sound quality and my DVD player that I just got (Which I now use as a CD player) will not read those old discs (It is specified to play any type of CD-R, and even has a built in MP3 player). But the Memorex brand has been faithful to me. These discs work in every CD player I have tested them in, and the sound quality is crisp, clear and all around excellent (In the bargain brands I mentioned, the music sounded too "digital"). They are very affordable and you get a lot for your money. The only downside I can think of is that you don't get any jewel cases to store these in, but I don't use those, so it's not a problem. Oh yeah, the colors are really entertaining if you have a short attention span.

 Memorex = short life time. Be warned ! Jan 29, 2003
I own some cd-r's that were recorded about 3-4 years ago on Memorex 2x4x CD-R with the "is it live" breaking glass logo. These cd-r's have been stored dry and dark. Initially they were fine. I can throw them all away now. The cd's have become unreadable by any of my 5 audio cd players, and my pc is also not able to read them anymore. Thank you Memorex - NOT! I can not recommend Memorex brand cd-r's to anybody.

I do NOT recommend these... Feb 28, 2005
By Raven
"raven"
I bought these one day. When I used them, after playing the cd once, maybe twice, the cd would skip...pretty badly. My friend said that all blank media are the same, quality wise, he was horribly wrong. If I even try to use them for MP3-CDs, they don't even work the first time. Please don't waste your money.
*I searched around, and after some looking, I found that Sony CD-R 700mb discs work really well, from experience, I found out that they are much more scratch-resistant, and have a MUCH longer life.
I hope that this review helped you... :)

Saw bad Reviews and i just HAVE to say.... Jun 17, 2006
By Trewthe
Used these for years and years, have some that i keep in a cd book in my truck, in the hot sun, and they ALWAYS play just perfect! Been reading some of these reviews and all i can say in that i'm sorry THEY had all these problems with them, because for ME they are great, and the only cd-rs i will probably ever use!

Nice thought -- but the product is junk Feb 12, 2006
By Dabooda
These "cool colors" look really nice. So use them for drink coasters and they work great. Unfortunately, some of the cool colors are not readable in many cd and dvd drives. I got all sorts of different error messages on two different cd drives, and my stereo would not play some music I recorded on certain colors, either. Unfortunately, I didn't save my receipt, or I would have gotten my money back.
