Not working?
I have a simple dell computer with a standard burner(nothing fancy), but it's worked in the past. So my girlfriend buy these and thus far I've attempted 5 burns and only 1 is successful. I'm returning them.

BEST BLANK CDS AVAILABLE!
I've had several instances where my blank CDs were scratched so badly from general use that they wouldn't play properly. But this isn't the case with these puppies because they have an amazing 3 anti-scratch coatings. Sometimes I got blank CDs with very little writing surface but this isn't the case with these well designed gems because they have 8 lines on front. They always burn with no problems. In sum, these are the very best CD blanks money can buy.

Completely satisfactory for me.
Bought these after hearing my music CDs skip on certain players. These Maxells (made in Japan) have been terrific. They play flawlessly on any CD player I've come across.

I believe my pack was old.
I've bought the gold ones and they were great. But this time they were blue and the first one didn't write. only 40 x speed on these blue ones also. So ask the seller which color they have, ask for the gold ones.

maxell lost its quality
maxell has been one of my trusted use for blank discs for longer than i can remember.

up until sometime in 2005...when maxell changed their discs.

heres the difference

the 2004 model has the maxell guy on rhe left, and the cdr/80/700 tihng on the right. on the top it says maxell in big letters. also if you feel the background, it is a whole lot more stable. it doesnt chip easily. also the plastic used was not scratched easily.

the 2005/2006 model is a whole lot worse. it says cd-r onl eft, highlighted. on top of that it has maxell in small letters. on the right it says 80/700 and the maxell guy is right below it. the top of the disc is obviously used with cheaper material, and it scratches easily.

another thing noticeable from the two is burn errors. ive had no burn errors at all with either of the 2004 models (regular or music). on the 2005 model at least 80% failed.

also when using nero express i tested imation and sony cd-rs just to make sure my recorder was ok. imation had a 10% fail rate and sony had a 0% fail rate...my recorder works fine.

also, i tried burning at slower speed with no better results.

why would imation and sony work on my computer and maxell wouldnt. because maxell cd-rs are garbage. avoid at all costs get imation sony or get maxell but only if the discs look like i explained on the 2004 modle becuase those were literally the best cdrs ive ever owned.
