Computer Recording - blank cds, cd-r
Great price for the quantity. So far everyone has worked as expected! The case is easy to open though, but may just be the one I got. Discs work fine! We have used Maxell products many years ago. There is no one beat these products. You will never have a failure. Maxell 700 MB Color 50pk CD-Recordable Discs (50-Pack)
I will just make a comment based on some recorded playback issues....I have had some spotty problems with playback on theses discs ....I say this with some reserve due to uncertainty...I have an older, Sony jukebox-style player..and some of the songs would skip...then I would replay and they would sometimes skip again and sometimes not....realizing my player is old, I used a cleaner several times....still had some skipping but very random....I switched to Sony media and have not had an issue so far....
Like I said, this is probably not the best comparison, due to older player and vertical playback, but never-the less the Sony media and TDK have not skipped for some unknown reason.......as a matter of fact the Sony media has been perfect for more than nine months now (no bad disc's either)??????

Both Lappy and Lappy Junior (laptops #1 and #2) would angrily (and hastily) spit out all other CDs with great disdain and disgust, even refusing to acknowledge their presence. Ugly, you-don't-even-exist statements would then flash across Lappy's monitor after I inserted other CDs into Lappy's CD drive (such as "please insert disk").
I personally spent at least $3.2 million trying to find a CD that Lappys I & II would accept. The Maxell CD-R 700/80 are the ONLY disks that the Lappys love.
As a professional writer, and as the sister of a comp-sci professor, I do NOT walk away from Lappy at the end of the day without backing up my work. Every morning that Lappy Junior springs to life is a miracle of grace and I recognize that as a true fact. So I go through a lot of disks, backing up each day's work.
I know many would argue that the flash-drives are a better way to save, but I prefer the disks for daily work. They can be added to, and, if your flash drive had a catastrophic failure, you could lose months and months of work. If your CD failed, you'd lose a day's work (assuming you back up each night).
These CDs come in "color" which just means that the disks themselves are brightly colored (five colors) rather than the traditional plain silver. I prefer the silver, as I can use my handy-dandy sharpie markers and write a table of contents on the face of the CD.
And if we're talking preferences, I prefer the 100-count, which comes in a plastic case (which also provides for handy storage of recorded CDs). I have noticed that prices vary widely on this site. I paid about twenty-seven dollars for my 100-count of Maxell 48x CD-R. - Blank Cds - Maxell - Cd-r - Blank Media'
