 Not For Computers Mar 16, 2004
By R. G. Marcum
"TheBadger1252"
These CDs are are manufactured for stand-alone CD Recorders not for CD "burners" in computers. The stand-alone units will not accept computer discs, but computers will accept both. The CD-R Music (or audio) cost more because they are taxed by the RIAA to compensate artists for piracy. Computer discs do not have that tax, and are therefore cheaper. The quality of the discs differs from brand to brand, and results vary from brand to brand and CD Player to CD Player. I would not buy these CDs for a computer burner, it's not as cost effective as other CDs for computers. I do, however, reccomend the Memorex CD-Rs with the white labels over other brands. These seem to have fewer problems in car CD players and older cd players.

 I'm pleased Dec 14, 2001
I've used these discs in the past, and have been happy with them. Occasionally, you will get one that doesn't work right. But, out of 30, that's not bad.

The truth is somewhere between these two reviews... Jul 09, 2002
Actually, Audiophile in Texas, you too did not do your homework. In fact, the word "music" on the label has nothing to do with the thickness of the CD. Yes, if they are billing it as a music CD, it may be more durable...or it may not. It depends on the brand. As for your scientific study of holding the two CDs side-by-side, try this with a TDK data CD and one of these Memorex "Music" CDs...hey, they are the same size! So Memorex can stick the word music on the label and TKD can leave it off and they are the same thickness? Who'd have thought such a thing was possible?OK, sorry about the sarcasm, but Audiophile jumped to scold someone else for doing the exact thing he/she then proceeded to do. BUT, Audiophile's point is a good one...thin cheap CDs make for bad music CDs! First time you set it on the car seat and it falls to the floor, you've scratched the surface and there goes that CD. So then we go back to Electronics Fan's point of finding a brand name you like and going with it. And in the end, buy a couple brands and test them out for yourself. Do we have to do all the work for you?
Best CD's for Music Dec 06, 2008
By Patrick K. Ervolina
"myster E"
Memorex Music CDR's are the most error-resistant brand I have used in 7 years with the CD burner built into my Philips stereo. It is so easy to record off the radio and duplicate CD's, now that I have a brand that doesn't just turn into coasters.

Not much of a difference Jul 19, 2002
I always figured that "music" CD-R's and "data" CD-R's were the same physically, except that companies had to pay royalty fees to recording assocications for sales of music CD-R's. The idea is that people with stand alone burners hooked up to their stereos and not a computer, can't use the excuse of "I also use my CD Writer to store my data files." I agree ... that brands matter, buying a no name brand usually means buying a flimsy, easily scatched or cracked disc. But if I'm just burning a few badly recorded MP3's that I downloaded off the 'net to listen in my car, I don't care much about the length of the disc's life. It's not like I'll want to listen to an old disc of Britney five years from now ( *ahem* not that I would listen to her in the first place). ...
