If you want a cheap, reliable set of CDRs which come with their own individual case ans slip of paper to write tracklists etc on, then look no further. With this set you get 10 disks and cases for, at the moment, 5 quid (postage is added on to the 0.43 given price). Unlike disks from other manufacturers, these do not become corrupted halfway through the burning process, or fail on 97%. This is the brand that i use most often at the moment. They are compatible with any burner, and play without problems. Each disk is 700Mb, meaning about 80 minutes of music, or if you burn as a data cd many more albums and lots of your best pictures can be stored. The recording process is quick, and the final product is exactly as you want it to be. I prefer individual cases like this to spindles, as i think they look better on my shelf as part of my collection. The cases themselves are strong enough as long as you don't stand on them, and they are slim-line meaning storage space is kept to a minimum. Perfect for burning and keeping.

The CD's are good and I would recommend them but only one of mine came with the green paper to write track-lists on.

In my opinion Sony are the leaders when it comes to blank media as well as being top in the technology field. Excellent quality from a reputable brand name.

Altogether these CD-Rs are very good, but I was shocked to discover that there was only 1 proper paper sleeve in the case, which is the top one. So if you like to index the tracks you've burnt, or put the details of a backup on the paper cover, forget these CD-Rs, as they're not really that good package wise.

Otherwise these are great CD-Rs - though they will only burn at 48x, when now 52x is the norm. At least you can overburn to 705MB easily.

Great for all uses, just don't expect to be able to index the contents on the paper insert.
