    These CD-R’s are perfect. The sound quality is good and they are less expensive than many others.

    I have used hundreds of Maxell Music CD-R media through the years without problems, and acutally prefer them to any other music CD-R’s. I ordered three of these spindles in November 2009 and just began using them. Immediately I began to get music with skips making them unacceptable for use. I opened a new spindle and experienced the same problem. I was afraid that my write drive was bad, but regular (non-music) Maxell Cd’s recorded music fine. As a last resort, I went to my local computer store and bought a Maxell Music 50 pack, (which differed only by having interior plastic wrap and a “Made in Taiwan” sticker on top). These work fine, as I have always experienced. I can only conclude that the discs that Amazon is selling are defective. It may be that some will work and others will not, but I do not have the time or inclination to try each one to get a correct burn. Of course the return date has expired, so I will just have to recycle them. Be forewarned!!!

    This has nothing to do with the quality of sound that was recorded on the CDs but with the fact that half or more failed. We were sent this brand of music CDs as a substitution for the ones we ordered. It took 2 spools of 50 CDs each to get 60 CDs to burn at all. The ones that did burn played OK but we noticed what looked like a lot of flaking in the CD material itself.

    Bottom line – We will not use this brand again nor do we recommend it at all.

    Stand alone CD recorders need blank Music CD’s, which have an OPC code on them, so they can be recognized by the recorder allowing the disc to be recorded on. Maxell has had a very good Music blank CD in the past, but this is not it. I’ve had some work, a few work only for a song or two, and some don’t work at all. Don’t waste your money on the Maxell Music CD’s (or the TDK, which are even worse – they just don’t work), but go for the Sony Music CD’s (I tried the ones in the purple package and they work fine). Sony Music CD’s have the OPC code and they work in stand alone CD recorders.

    I’ve recorded more than 2,000 blank CDs of music, mostly classical, from originals to copies, from LPs, cassettes, reel-to-reel tape to CD, from CD copies of one brand to CD copies on Maxell blanks using both Sony and Philips CD burners, and from downloads directly via sites and through my PC’s processes. In my experience, Maxell Music CDR is the most reliable brand of music CD on the market. They consistently outperform Sony, Fujifilm and Memorex (and any other brand I’ve used) and give me a product I can play on my PC, my CD player, my CD player-burner and in my car CD player.

    I’ve been doing this with music going back to the middle 1970s when I regularly recorded from radio broadcasts and my turntable to cassette and to reel to reel tape. I followed tape technology in its day and bought my first CD player in 1986. I bought a Philips CD burner in the 1990s and later bought the Sony CD burner I use today. I have recorded from a turntable and cassette originals to CD using Maxell wiht nary a slip other than an occasional fault in my burner.

    My success stories with Maxell products are plentiful. I purchased a download of a Beethoven choral work about a year ago that was no longer available in any purchasable CD format other than in an expensive multi-CD collection. I downloaded it to my PC, then burned it to a Fujifilm 80 minute music-data CD. The transfer was successful but, once I played the CD, it included a lot of static that reminded me of what it used to be like playing LPs. I’d heard this before — in the waning days of my old Philips CD burner when it would not successfully transfer the music from one medium to another without some excess noise also being transferred. When I bought my new Sony CD burner and burned a new Maxell CD from my earlier CD burn, the noise was gone and I was left with a pristine original.

    Most recently, I downloaded a free copy of a symphony from an online Bruckner site to my computer, then burned it onto a Memorex 80 minute music-data CD using my PC’s directions for a “mastered” disk (via Windows Vista Supreme), which is supposed to be playable in any conventional CD player. Once finished, the new disk played perfectly on my home players. When I tried it in the car, however, the player wouldn’t read it.

    I burned this CD onto a Maxell Music blank using my CD burner and this issue is now resolved. This is just one in thousands of episodes I’ve had over the years using Maxell’s superior product. As I understand it, the reason they work so well is because, ironically, they can record at speeds as low as 4X. Don’t ask me why but it works. This is the brand to buy if you want to record music from any medium to CD.
