Summary: Don't let the 24X label fool you!
Review: It does not work at 24X. I bought these to try to use my Mt. Rainier-enabled drive that supports rewriting at 24X so I can use these CDRWs like floppies. But they do not rewrite at 24X! Searching the forums on the web will reveal that these can only write at 16X and while this may be acceptable for some people who are willing to reduce the rewrite speed to 16X and not use the UDF packet writing, if you are like me and want to use packet writing, these disks are not for you. They will just cause headaches and lots of read / write failures. I've heard Verbatim brand ultra speed CDRWs work at 24X. While they do not have the 700mb version yet, sacrificing 50mb for a working disc is acceptable in my opinion.

Summary: not for car audio use
Review: the original plan of use for these discs were to be used for an mp3 disc for my sony cd/mp3 cd player in my car. i have a high speed sony cd-rw drive (48x/24x/48x) and when mp3s are written on 16-24x on the cds, the music constantly skips. an ideal speed is 2x or 4x. i learned the hard way, but i have no problems saving some of my downloaded mpegs on these discs.i think the other reviews saying that thses discs dont write past 16x are due to the fact that mabey they dont have an ultra speed cd-rw drive like i do. i have had no problems writing on 24x.

Summary: Work Great
Review: These are the only CD-RW's I can create VCDs with AND run on my set-top DVD player (Sony SVP-S530D). Even the green boxes of Memorex don't work, but these consistently work great.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: These discs allow to be written at 16x only despite the claim of 16x to 24x "ultra speed". The CD writting software identified the manufacturer as INFODISK. I purchased the disc pack to make VCDs. The discs proved unreliable for VideoCD. VCDs did not play on the same CD-RW drive (under WinXP), or in my consumer DVD player (where other brands work.) The VCDs played on Mac OSX using DLC (freeware VCD player) but the video was choppy and the player became unstable. I am forced to give this Memorex product one star because zero is not an option.
