Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex 700MB/80-Minute 52x Data CD-R Media (50-Pack Spindle)Customer Review: Okay, just not so great... Summary: 3 Stars
When I purchase CD-R's I usually go by whats on sale because, as I thought, all CD-R's were pretty much the same. I found out how wrong I was. What I discovered is that even though the cd would seem to burn without a problem when I would play the burned disks on my new stereo system, after the first few tracks, it would sound as if the disk was "skipping". It would get so bad as to only play a couple seconds, freeze up for a min, then play a couple more just to freeze up again. At first I was surpised and I thought that either my CD burner was going bad considering it was brand new or my stereo just didn't like burned disks. I just couldn't believe that either the stereo or the burner was the problem, so I decided to do an experiment to figure out the reason behind the issue. I know for a fact it isn't my stereo as it works perfectly with any other brand of CD-R I have burned with (Imation, Verbatim). What I did is I burned a Memorex CD-R with some songs on it as well as a Verbatim CD-R with the same stuff on it. Then I tried to play both in my CD player and guess what, the Memorex was "Skipping" and the Verbatim worked perfectly! Both 50 packs of Memorex I bought had the same issue throughout the package. My cd player on the other hand doesn't have as much of a problem with the memorex disks and doesnt stop playing but you can notice a faint skipping sound in the background if you listen closely. I'm sure not all of you will have the same issue of "skipping" because I do only notice it a lot on my stereo system. Since Memorex no longer does the trick for me I will not be buying them anymore no matter what sale is going on. I just don't trust them. I was turned off to Memorex's CD-RW's a few years back because they would burn but about half the cds in the 10 pack wouldn't erase after they'd been burned on. I just don't get it... I know Imation CD-R's and RW's work perfectly and I know Verbatims CD-R's and RW's work just as well as I have not encountered a problem like with Memorex. Not saying any of you will experience the same issues or notice the "skipping" but don't say I didn't warn you if you have the same issues. Maybe I just got a bad batch.....twice...lol
