Customer Review: not what they used to be...
Summary: 2 Stars
Just bought this product after running out of (what I thought was) the same item. The manufacturer and all other specs looked the same. There was one difference - out of 50 from the old pkg, I had zero failures. So far, 3 out of 10 I have used from this new pkg have failed. Memorex has SERIOUS Quality Control issue here. They have either stopped checking or simply don't care about quality. This is my last purchase of Memorex CDs. Will be looking for CDs with more favorable reviews than I see here. Oh yeah, one more thing...the smell...whew!...a cross between burnt rubber and burnt oil...every time I open the plastic cover a very strong, not at all pleasant odor assaults your nose.Customer Review: Not Worth..

Thinking Memorex will be of good quality and there would least chances of coasters, I bought 3 Spindles (30 CD-Rs each).. I have tried variety of Drives (I/O Magic, Mad Dog and Micro Advantage).. I have always used Roxio Media creator 7.. With the above combination, I have been successful in burning one out of 4 or 5 Discs.. Mostly I get Media Errors and Some weird errors.. The 4th or 5th CD that burns, takes atleast 5~7 Minutes..!! Funniest thing is, the Free after rebate CD-Rs burn past (2~2.5 Minutes and w/o No Errors absolutely) and perform beautifully..!!
If you are thinking of storing and preserving, Precious Data/Video, Please go for TDK/Verbatim..!!
Customer Review: They're Cheap for a Reason
Summary: 1 Stars
I should have known better. After seeing these in the store, a bundle of so many for just $20 seemed like such a steal. Actually, it would have been more beneficial to just set a twenty dollar bill ablaze. None of the cds I tried to make, worked. No, not one of them. It doesn't have anything to do with my burner, either. Every other type of disc I've ever used (and I have tried them all) has worked just great. Not only that, but this has happened to several relatives as well. We don't all have incompatible burners (which wouldn't make sense anyway, a cd such as this shouldn't be unique to any one type of burner), the bundle is just awful.Customer Review: Check Your Hardware Capability
Summary: 5 Stars
Check Your Hardware Capability. Memorex will not burn perfectly unless you have a drive that burns them properly. I have heard that Lite-On burners have some problems with Memorex. I have burned at least 1500 CD-R's (all Memorex) and never one problem with my Sony burner. Also, you must store them properly to ensure a long life for your disks. I have some that are 5 or more years old and they play as good as the day I burned them. At 20 cents a disk how can you go wrong. I also always recommend to all my friends to burn at a slower speed. The best things come to those who wait. Nero is also the best software to burn any type of media.Customer Review: Look No Further.

If there's a better deal on Amazon, I have yet to find it. Not only are these Memorex CD-R's arguably the most dependable and inarguably the most affordable, but Amazon is currently making it cost-advantageous to purchase two 50-pack spools over a single 100-pack spindle (may as well stock up). As a radio DJ-educator-musician I go through a spool per month and have no complaints, even though these are supposedly "data" rather than "music" CD's. (I have yet to detect any difference between the two, other than a 20-50% mark-up for the CD-R's designated for "music" storage.) Thank you Amazon and Memorex! (Just don't get greedy.)
