Solid performance with great value!,

Before I start, I would like to remind people that compatability problems still exist with CDRW burners. Some media brands will just work better on certain hardware/burners. On reviews like these, it's best to state your burner as well so readers will have an idea of what media matches best with what hardware/burner. I would also like to remind people that compatability problems exists between CDRs and late model CD players - wether on a boombox or on your car's player.Ok now onto my review... I have a LiteOn CDRW 40x burner (on my old PC), Teac DVD+/CDRW combo burner and an LG-Hitachi 48x CDRW burner. Memorex media works flawlessly on all these burners! Music CDs that I made plays perfectly on all my components - 5-disc Sony caroussel from the early 90s, my DVD player from 2000 and the rest of my CD players in the house and not to mention my car's CD player. No problems at all. The only problem I encountered was when I made VCDs using these disc. They...Read more

These Memorex CD-Rs did not work well at all for me. I would not recommend them.
I bought a spindle of 100 as the price seemed like a pretty good deal. I tried burning 20 of these. Out of that group of twenty, twelve were duds.
I am no audio expert by any means, and there may be some great reason why they didn't work with my system. Unfortunately, there was no warning indicating that they might not work well with certain types of computers. The system that I am using is a Dell that was new within the last few months.
I have also bought the Verbatim CD-Rs and had very good luck with them. I would caution buyers to consider buying a smaller quantity initially if they are thinking about buying the Memorex CD-Rs.

By far the best consumer-grade CD-R,

As a professional audio engineer, I use Memorex-brand CD-Rs for all of my personal audio and data projects. They're even good enough for entry-level professional mastering. While not the same caliber as a gold studio master (2-3x the price), they easily exceed any kind of standard a consumer or prosumer might be looking for. I've used about 800 or so in the past year without any problems. I think most of the problems the reviews are showing is either user error or bad recording equipment--I've never had problems.
