I own a high-end CD burner and these TDK discs are the only ones by a major manufacturer that I have never had trouble with. Can't say the same for Maxell or (especially) Memorex.

I totally agree with David's review. These Music CD-R's are the best. Out of all the recording I do, I've only had a few defective discs. I use these CD-R's with the computer and my TDK Recorder, which is hooked up to my stereo system, making transfer from vinyl, cassette and audio from video and DVD really easy. Other brands do not always work properly with the TDK Recorder, and sometimes do not work properly when recording via the computer's CD Writer.

Some of the benefits I like with the TDK Music CD-R's: The under side of the disc is silver, not blue. The top side of the discs (the white ones) are perfect for affixing CD Labels.

The problem is, TDK Music CD-R's are becomming harder and harder to find at your local stores, and even online. Visiting the TDK website, they only carry the Music CD-R's in 10 packs. Why?! TDK is a well known brand name here in the States. Why can't this product be easily found?

I always purchase in bulk (usually by 100 pack spindles). I urge anyone, that is searching for TDK Music CD-R's to buy up in bulk. Before you know it, they won't be found anywhere.

I am a DJ, doing a lot of recording from Vinyl, burning my own CD-Rs etc. I also happen to have some relatively old CD players (like the Pioneer CDJ-700). These TDKs are the best CD-Rs I have found for both recording and playback. I have never had a single one go bad during recording. And they are THE ONLY ones that never skip or jump even on my older CD players (the other ones were the blue Verbatims that apparently disappeared a few years ago). I feel 100% confident when I DJ using these CD-Rs! When it comes to looks, their all-white surface is perfect for affixing labels (like another reviewer pointed out). Unfortunately I will agree with that same reviewer that they are getting harder & harder to find. I just hope they don't discontinue them!

When the package arrived and I took the CD's out,I didn't see any record speed on the cd's or the package,so I was concerned.I have a Philips CDR775 dual tray recorder/player and haven't been able to make any recordings lately.I kept getting "OPC ERRORS".I put the first of these discs in the tray and expected to see another OPC ERROR,but the player accepted it right away! I've made three recordings in a row with no problem.I'm convinced that my player is fine.I just haven't found any newer discs it'll accept,not even the new white label TDK 32x CD-R's.

I am very pleased with the quality of the CDs. I love burning my own music, and the previous brand I used would always get rejected by my Beemer's music system towards the end of the CD. Not the TDK's though. Totally worth the few more dollars!
