Customer Review: doesn't burn on certain computers
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought it was wonderful when these were on sale at Staples since Memorex is usually known for their wonderful quality and I've previously had wonderful experiences with the brand. But when I tried some of these cd-rs on my laptop, they wouldn't burn. The cd-writer would start preparing the cd for burning but when it got down to having the files written on the cd, the process would stop and give me an error message. It had worked wonderfully on my desktop computer, though- so I was convinced that my laptop's dvd/cd drive was broken-that is- until I managed to burn on files on some Maxell cd-rs. It is disappointing how I now have this stack of CD-Rs and I can't even use them on the computer I most frequently use.Customer Review: No longer a quality product.
Summary: 2 Stars
I've bought hundreds of Memorex CD-Rs over the past couple years, and I was always happy with the quality. However, they changed their product late last year, and the new ones just aren't of the same quality as the old ones.
The new ones come in a purple shrink wrapped package. I never had one coaster with the old ones, but I've been getting quite a few bad ones while using these new Memorex CD-Rs. So much so that I'm no longer putting anything important on them. I'm just using them for music mixes and the like.
I'd suggest finding another brand of CD-Rs. Which is what I've done. Because the quality just isn't there anymore. It's also twice as bad because the cost of these has gone up too!
Customer Review: Lost most of my music collection
Summary: 1 Stars
I was going to wipe my computer and downgrade to XP so I decided to back up my music. I burned most of my music to Memorex CD-Rs and checked the first 3 or 4 to be sure things were burning properly. Nero said they were successfully burnt! Later I was able to score a few DVDs so I didn't have to use so many CDs, THANKFULLY. Because after I wiped my computer and went to get my music back from the Memorex CD-Rs I couldn't! Over half the discs were defective. The defective ones would only show the first folder on the disk and the other ones come up as "file not found" when I search for them in the Command line. These CDs are junk. This is not the first time that Memorex has screwed me but it is the last.Customer Review: No Problems Using These!
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe I am just lucky but I have not had any problems using these disks.
They have burned very fast and very dependably so far.
I have used about a third of the 50 disks in making music CDs and 5 or 6 disks to store some data files on. I did this using my TDK 52X CD-RW burner that is in a nearly 4-year old Dell desktop PC.
I have had no burning problems so far. The music CDs I have made with these have played in every electronic device I have tried them in.
It is unfortunate that so many seem to be having trouble with these -- I hope my luck holds out!
Based on my personal experience using them I recommend these without reservation!
Customer Review: Half Don't Record
Summary: 1 Stars
Unfortunately, I purchased "two" spindles of 50 Memorex Music 80 minute CD-R and about every other disc had to be thrown away as it would start burning my music, then just get hung-up and stop. To get the disc ejected, I would have to close down the Real Player completely and on a few occasions, shut-down my computer and re-start it. Although my computer is newer, I had put a cleaning disc in it, thinking that maybe there was some lint, but that didn't help. Thinking "I" was doing something wrong, I started talking to other people about my problem and found-out that they have had the same problems.I'm not wasting anymore money buying and throwing away Memorex discs.
