I've tried Memorex, TDK, Maxell, Sony, Imation and Verbatim discs, primarily for musical-radio use, and they've proven close to equally effective in my experience. Moreover, the more expensive versions designated as "For Music" have no better audio quality than the same manufacturers' "non-designated" discs. So if you favor the least expensive of otherwise equal alternatives, Memorex is almost always the best bet. Since the current price of a 50-disc pack is almost triple the cost of the same Memorex spindle I purchased from Amazon last December, I'm seeking to reduce the damage by going with the 100-pack this time.

[Later: A day after ordering these, I discovered that Walgreen's was selling TDK 50-pack spindles for seven bucks. Lesson: especially with the declining demand for CDs, it pays to stay alert and, when the moment is propitious, to stock up.]

First off, great value, great price, and great that it comes with the 100 CD's I really need for all my computing and media needs, especially since it takes me 10 of these to backup my computer fully. And like I said, 9 out of 10 work great, especially when I'm burning a music CD. However, when play back that 10th CD, I've come to find that at least one of the tracks has a defect in them. It's not the music, or the burning method, or the user, it's the CD. But for the price, it's still a great buy. And I highly recommend it, just watch out for that 10th CD.

Good value for the price. I prefer Memorex to other available products and the 100 CD's is a good deal.

These CD-Rs have been fine. I haven't had any issues on my PC with them. They get the job done!

The only issue I had was taking a burned cd with pics to a local drug store to get prints made right away....I used the kodak kiosk and it said there was no media on the disc! BUT the pics were there when I checked on the pc. SO I don't know if it was an issue with the machine at the store (which they said was just fixed) or the discs.

Edited to add: I took a cd to walmart kodak kiosk yesterday burned with pics just as before and it worked just fine and perfectly, obviously the other places machine was messed up.

Item was exactly as described, quick ship, smooth transaction. Would love to business with again! Thanks

what is there to say, work as advertised, came on time, and since I am using them to store all my old LP albums, write once was all that was needed.

i thought that this product was the same as the others, i had, i have an OLD computer, about 10 years,i figured the cdr-s were the same no matter what company you bought them from, man was i wrong, the first time i tried to burn a cd, the cd-r downloaded a driver to my rw drive, and it took days to find what had happened, i eventually had to COMPLETELY un install my cdr drive, open it up and disconnect the cables, and re in stall it, it works now, but then my rom drive stopped working, and i don't know if it will again.

i bought this product at a local store, some months ago, and stupidly threw away the reciept, now i just threw away 25 bucks. I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

Super sound Quality.
i Cannot detect any pop, scratch, or hiss on these discs--- Thanks to you for great products

Memorex makes a very reliable blank CD-R that can handle up to 80 minutes of music or 700 megabytes of data. Moreover, these blank CD-Rs are capable of recording data at high speeds. The data I recorded onto these CD-Rs has now lasted for over three years, proving the test of time. I have used these as data discs and discs to record audio. I almost never got a coaster. Great!

The CD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data or music onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your CD-Rs that have anything stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.

There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than the packaging advertises (52x). This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your CD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the CD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you? If you need to label the discs, label its' jewel case using a post-it note. At least that's what I do.

Overall, Memorex blank CD-R discs store data reliably over the years and I believe that an extra minute to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it in the event that it doesn't actually burn at the very highest speed advertised.

Use them in good health!

You won't find a better deal for CDRs anywhere. This is the best deal going. If you order two stacks of 100 you also get free shipping! Take advantage of this....trust me!

Memorex 700MB/80-Minute 52x CD-R Media are great with little to no problems everytime I buy them.

I have brought off Amazon mutiple times and they ALWAYS Arrive broken. DO NOT BUY CD's off of Amazon as you will get broken ones

Thank you -RS

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's. Sometimes as a person that has worked in electronic stores my thoughts are requested on recording equipment and electronics.

Memorex 700MB/80-Minute 52x CD-R Media (100-Pack Spindle)

Memorex has been ultra reliable for me as a recording medium for blank CDR's. I have used a substantial amount over the years for both data and pictures (Notes on my Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and photos) and for various rock and roll albums.

The CD's have held up well and there have been very little that were defective right out of the package. While the quality control is a shade below the Fuji from Japan, in no way should Memorex be considered a poor second choice.

For maximum shelf life the recorded CD's should be in jewel cases and not in paper sleeves. If you are into making your own labels make sure to use the better quality paper. The inferior thin labels not only will curl up before they are placed on the CD but the glue will actually get into the CD itself. Many defective CD's are not the fault of the manufacturer but the consumer not using best judgment.

Enjoy the music and be well,

Great price on these CD's, this brand is fairly reliable for me. I only get a bad disc once in a great while. When I received the discs, however, the container/spindle was pretty smashed up but the discs were not damaged.

Using these CDs for some time.
For data and music recording.
Excellent quality for it's price.
Vitnet

uh! come on! they are new and blank and shinny and wrapped, ready to be used, end of story!

Better price than any of my local retail outlets, no hassle, no tax, no shipping fee...uhm...like...duh!!

I backup data from my ThinkPad using these disks several times per week. After 100 burns, I have yet to get a failed disk. For CD-R media, that pretty much defines a good product.

This is just a basic pack of 100 black disks. Nothing special or non-special about it.

There were one-hundred disks in the pack! That's like, a lot. I liked them.

I ordered lots of blank media in the past, but this was the first for me from amazon. The media it self is fine, except the packaging could be better. Upon receiving the item the spindle was in a box with that is clearly to big, in the box were those clear plastic balloon it was not wrap around the spindle. So to me the clear plastic balloon has to use for the media rolling around the box. So upon opening the media 2 of the dvd was crack and the case cover was crack also. I did not call amazon, because for only 2 broken dvd it was not worth the time. So next time when you order anything fragile, call them to make sure it was shipped properly. Otherwise you will go thru the hassle of returning and waiting longer for your item.

CDR media is pretty standard... this is no exception... reliable and cheap... but now i'm buringing things to DVD as the prices have declined.

I'm nearly through the second of two 100-pack spindles, and haven't had a single burn failure yet!

about 15% of the cds in each pack (we bought 2) would not burn.

I've since converted to DVD burning, but this is a pretty good set of blank cds to have. I got mine for 9.99 and was very satisfied at the time. I don't think I had any problems copying with these cds and they make great music cds if you don't have an iPOD to play in your car.

good cds. i buy them all the time...
never had problems really...........

Brand new and sealed arrived a few days early. Would definately recomment this seller.

A lot of space -- My computer is over 5yrs old so I use these CD's as a great back up for storing all my old documents, my ebooks, and my pics.

100 cds is a lot of cds (though you'd be surprised how many it takes to back up a PC. Uh, when DID you last back up YOUR data?)

You can put pictures, files, music on these cds. We use them just for data backup, and use Fellowes software and labels to make custom labels with contents. These are filed in an album and it's easy to reload or retrieve data in this manner. We have not had any problem writing or reading these cds.

Heres a new one....I have recently bought two spindles of these discs, and my computer (Imac w/ Intel chip-hardly outdated) simply doesnt recognize them-like I never put in a disc at all. The kicker is that this spring, I also ordered two spindles of these discs (exactly the same as far as I can tell), from which I burned one hundred discs (not a single faulty one!) for a freind overseas. I have no idea what the deal is, but have a feeling that the issue is not the quality of the discs. Anyone got ideas??

I do all my burning on a standard Windows Media player, and it's almost entirely data and music, no video. For my purposes, these CD's sound great. In some cases, it actually seems like the discs have enhanced the sound spectrum somewhat. That may be a trick my ears are playing on me but, nevertheless, I'm a big fan of the Memorex. And they're a steal if you catch the sale price. Recommended.

This product has not had any flaws from day 1! Quality is great!

These CDs are always a great price and a good buy, no complaints.

As a person who has used lots of writable CD and DVD products I would highly recommend this product. I have yet to have any problems of any kind while using this product. If your storage needs are under 650 + megabytes I would buy this product. Note : This product needs several Megabytes of room for formatting and does not hold exactly 700 Merabytes of your data. For the price listed this ad it is a great deal as well...

These and Fuji are the best CDRs on the market. Very few bad disks in the batch. The price seals the deal!

At less than a dollar per sparkly Frisbee, this is the best price I can find for Frisbees. They don't fly very well and they break relatively easily, but this is the best value I can find for 100 Frisbees in one place.

A lot of people are disappointed because they expect to be able to use these discs as writable CD media. The problem with that is, they don't work very well for that either. I, too, tested this for myself.

Using Nero Burning ROM, I tried many times to burn different kinds of data onto several of the discs -=AT 4X=-, just like you're supposed to (you know to be safe.) IT WORKED! It burned fine. Then it took 5 minutes to open a simple HTML document on the burned disc. Subsequent trials run with the "Verify Written Data" check-box checked revealed that every other sector or so was unreadable after burning. It's like writing with a white crayon, except this is white paper. This persisted on several OTHER computers with different CD burner drives and even different software.

I finally realized what great Frisbees these things are. Cheer up people: THEY ARE GREAT FUN! So grab your spindle, go outside, and start chucking these things at your neighbor's annoying dog.

I need to sue Memorex for selling this junk. These disc are just a form of abuse.
