Summary: Try another brand
Review: have rarely had problems recording music or mixed media data on to a disk. However, the 100 pack of Memorex CD-R I bought have made me think twice about ever buying their brand again. I use a Lite ON 40x CD-RW and most of the problems I have had in the past were a result of user error: recording at high speed, using other applications whilst recording data etc. Yet, it seems several CDs in the spindle I bought were corrupt. It took me about 10 CDs and several emails & calls to their customer service dept. to figure out their media was to blame. My firmware was up-to-date and I've never had compatibility problems before. After discussing this issue w/ friends, Memorex appears to have compatibility problems w/ some audio & recording components. The worst part about this problems is that I cannot get my money back either. My advice is to steer clear of Memorex and spend the extra few pounds on a TDK or Maxell CD-R

Summary: By far the best consumer-grade CD-R
Review: As a professional audio engineer, I use Memorex-brand CD-Rs for all of my personal audio and data projects. They're even good enough for entry-level professional mastering. While not the same caliber as a gold studio master (2-3x the price), they easily exceed any kind of standard a consumer or prosumer might be looking for. I've used about 800 or so in the past year without any problems. I think most of the problems the reviews are showing is either user error or bad recording equipment--I've never had problems.

Summary: Solid performance with great value!
Review: Before I start, I would like to remind people that compatability problems still exist with CDRW burners. Some media brands will just work better on certain hardware/burners. On reviews like these, it's best to state your burner as well so readers will have an idea of what media matches best with what hardware/burner. I would also like to remind people that compatability problems exists between CDRs and late model CD players - wether on a boombox or on your car's player.Ok now onto my review... I have a LiteOn CDRW 40x burner (on my old PC), Teac DVD+/CDRW combo burner and an LG-Hitachi 48x CDRW burner. Memorex media works flawlessly on all these burners! Music CDs that I made plays perfectly on all my components - 5-disc Sony caroussel from the early 90s, my DVD player from 2000 and the rest of my CD players in the house and not to mention my car's CD player. No problems at all. The only problem I encountered was when I made VCDs using these disc. They "sometimes" wouldn't work on my Panasonic DVD/VCD player (year 2000). They would give me playback problems such as pixelation and audio skipping! But when using another brand, such as TDK or Fuji, I don't get these playback problems. The Memorex VCD would work on my dirt-cheat Apex though. Further, establishing the idea that media do have compatability problems. Considering my hardware, the brands that gave me no problems at all were: TDK, Fuji and Maxell - they just work flawlessly on whatever I throw at them. I would put the Memorex up there with the other brands but they seem to be only good when it comes to music and data but now much on video projects. But since most people use their CDRs for music and data anyway, these CDRs are still a great buy in my opinion! I currently have TDKs and Memorexs.

Summary: Terrible Experience with memorex 700mb 52x cdr
Review: I bought a 100 pack of the memorex 700mb 52x cdrs, and, while they worked at first, after a month or so they all produce "power calibration errors" on my sony crx168b burner, winXP pro, piii600, CD architect, EZCD, etc.. The burner works fine with all other brands. Have not been able to test on another burner, but even this performance is unacceptable. While I have had sucess with memorex in the past, I will look for alternatives in the future. I hope I can save someone the trouble I experienced.
best,

Summary: dissatisfied
Review: I bought a 30 pack of these. Five of them worked. The other 25 did not. I tried every single one! ... Don't waste your money. I also have older ones that are starting to delaminate also. It's not worth it. Bottom line: pay a couple of dollars more, and get a quality product if you value your music at all.

Review: I haven't used them all, but I haven't gotten a buffer underrun error yet. I have a 32X burner and it handles that speed just fine.
