Dropping a MIXTAPE! But it ain't mine!
I just went thru a batch of 100 Verbatims & not a single bad disc in the bunch! I just ordered another 100! I have an extensive CD collection. I'm talking EXTENSIVE. I make a lot of "BEST OF" compilations, MIXES & burn copies of my CD collection for use in the car because car players eat CDs like Jeffrey Dahmer ate fingers & toes. I go thru a lot of these. And they're cheap, so I throw them around like Frisbees. I've been using Verbatims for years. They sound amazing and burn right every time. I've never had a problem. I have one thing say about the people having trouble... LEARN to use your software. Okay, two things... and never use Windows Media Player for burning. It's awful. Use a third party burn software. I use Ashampoo freeware. It doesn't have a ton of features, but it gets the job done. And it does it well. For the price, Verbatims can't be BEAT! They're THE BOMB! Gotta run. I'm burning a Lover's Rock Reggae MIX with a lot of bottom to showcase a sound system. I'm out!

Great price, works very well, no problems at all
I'm in a rock band and record all our gigs on a Tascam DR-05 ($99) and then make CD copies for each of the band members to hear how we did and make any needed improvements. For this I need to burn about 6 discs a week and needed a large inexpensive supply. These did the trick. I can use Windows media player, Roxio, or even Apple software and have never had a problem with any of the discs. I record as MP-3's, about 3 hours of music and this couldn't be better. I like them branded on one side so I can tell which side to use, you can write on them with a sharpie, etc.

Fantastic media for wav or .Flac files that sounds as good as a regular CD that costs much more.................................
I do a lot of burning with .flac files and wav files to CD-Rs for high fidelity playback on a rather high end Onkyo CD player. That said these Verbatim CD-Rs and DVD-Rs have worked flawlessly for me since I switched from TDK a few years back. The truth is most media is manf. if not in the same plant in China, in a plant next to that one. Media is so cheap now a days I don't see how anyone can complain when they get a few bad disks? As far as I'm concerned the Verbatim CD-Rs and DVD-Rs that I have used have worked perfectly every single time I have done a burn. I do mean every single time I have done a burn these disks have worked. That's correct that I'm stating I have NEVER had a bad burn using these disks with either my Pioneer BD-RE optical drive or my LG BD-RE optical drive. The only time one of these disks didn't work was when the optical drive itself had hardware issue. Otherwise stated the optical drive had a laser fail and was either garbage or sent back under warranty. This is fantastic media and deserves a solid 5 star review that I almost never give anything that I buy. Until I get a bad batch which has never happened I'll continue to use these disks and keep on burning my music .flac Free lossless audio codec) files or the old wav file standard that still works just fine with just about every CD player ever produced. I have had good success with wav files in the default 16 bit 44.1k with CD players from 1986. The key is creating the disk in the default 16 bit 44.1k that even the most ancient of CD players will usually read. Of course the newer CD players will usually work with every type of wav file and even most .flac I have tried. So blaming the media is usually just a excuse for creating a disk in the wrong format in the first place. ) Happy Computing to all :) :)

Verbatims are perfect for copying Local Library Cds, worth every penny and time, so buy them...
What I LOVE about these Verbatims is how perfectly they work, without a single failure in 200+ cds, :TO COPY/DUPLICATE Rock and Roll and classical CDs that I take out appx every 2 weeks from my local Mentor Ohio Library. I now own every album of Sheryll Crow, also Queen, Bob Dylan, Bee Gees the list goes on and on, plus more expensive Kronos Quartet, Haydn,Mozart, Bach etc. Music CD Producers happy that I find time to listen to Cds at all. I wouldn't dream of selling one of these to anybody, but on other hand I wouldn't pay Amazon/Ebay min $3.99 shipping for one either (I'm retired ,not rich, but have plenty of time and patience to copy. Love how they sound IDENTICAL to originals.) I expected 6-9day delivery, no problemo, actually received these OVERNIGHT!!??!!. WOW! signed, a happy camper.............

EXCELLENT!
MARCH 2018 UPDATE - Now petroleum prices are inching up again, and the price of Verbatim has come down! Go figure! I always buy the Verbatim blank cd-r's in the blue-wrapped cake boxes as they are made in Taiwan. The ones in the clear wrappers are made in Mexico and (in my opinion) seem to be of inferior quality to the Taiwanese ones (Mexico blanks - too many coasters and too many skips). I am still going through about 20 to 30 blanks a week (!!) and it is really really rare that I have any problem with the Verbatim discs from Taiwan. Since Taiyo Yuden (used to manufacture Philips blank cd-r's) sold out to China and in my opinion the quality is not as good as it used to be, Verbatim has been my blank cd-r of choice for years. This international internet DJ still highly recommends the Taiwanese Verbatim blank cd-r's! JULY 2016 UPDATE - Petroleum prices are at an all-time low, yet the price of Verbatim blank CD-R's has jumped nearly $5.00 per 100 pack. Why? Anyway, I still prefer them to all other brands and this price is still as low as any I've seen. ORIGINAL REVIEW - As an internet DJ, I go through a lot of blank CD's. Verbatim pretty-much sets the industry standard for blank CD's and the price I pay for them on Amazon is very reasonable. In the past three years I've used Verbatim, Ridata, Kodak, Memorex, Philips, Falcon, and Maxell blank CD's to record my shows for my files and to send requested courtesy copies to some of the artists whose music I play on my shows. In the medical and legal offices I've worked in before I went back to Radio, Verbatim is the ONLY blank CD that those offices purchased. A 100 year guarantee and a high-quality product is what everyone should seek when buying a blank CD, and you get those with Verbatim. Don't get me wrong; I also like Ridata and Kodak (now discontinued making blank CD-R's) very much, but Verbatim is always my first choice. I've purchased close to a thousand of them and have had no "coasters." That's pretty danged good! PS - For quality purposes I make sure they are the ones made in Taiwan, not Mexico. Too many "coasters" in the blanks made in Mexico - in my opinion.

They work for me.
I have ordered these cds many times and honestly have not had an issue with them. I download audio books for when I travel on the road, and have burned literally hundreds of books. I read the reviews on occasion and am surprised by the numerous poor ones, although I obviously do not know the complete circumstances for each instance. I guess my summary would be if you use them for audio books, you should not have any issues unless I have been extremely coincidentally lucky with the 30 or so packs that I have purchased.

Good quality and worth the price!
I've bought the Verbatim brand for about three years now. I usually purchase them in physical stores but I needed some CD cases and I decided since I was running low of discs , to go ahead and get this pack of Verbatim while I was at it. I've used several different brands of discs but I keep coming back to to the Verbatim brand. With other brands at least one out of every three discs failed to burn. The first time I used Verbatim discs, I was hesitant and thought I would be tossing at least half of them like I've had to do with other brands but lo and behold, out of the pack of 50 I only had two or three that failed. I haven't been disappointed in this pack of disc and will certainly be back to purchase more when I need them.

Burn very slow I'm hunting rabbits "eh uh!"
Often people complain the disc is faulty when it is not. When you burn a CD or other optical media burn at the slowest setting possible for better results. Windows media player does give you those options, or if you prefer "ImgBurn" an opensource software that works great & is easy to understand.No complaints with these discs. I did have a burning problem, but I witched to a different machine. That told me it wasn't the disc, but that specific drive. Just some friendly advice. Take it or leave it.

These CD-Rs have longevity!
Before I go into my lengthy reasons, let me say, the Verbatim CD-Rs have the longest life of any CD-R I've ever used. As far as CD-Rs go, a main concern is longevity. The major problem is that some CD-Rs start to develop "CD rot" after a while. That is when the ultra-thin reflective layer (usually aluminum), where the audio or other data is stored, starts to oxidize (rust), usually because of a manufacturing fault or mishandling of the disc. This leads to a deterioration in the sound, which begins as slight audible clicks which, over time, become louder and more frequent. Eventually, the rot will become so bad that the disc won't play at all. I used to be an audio engineer. At the studio I worked at, we tried many different brands of CD-Rs, everything from no-name product to the major brands. They were all over the map. I'll try not to name names, but sometimes some of the ones you would least expect withstood the test of time (like Office Depot), while other lower-priced CD-Rs rotted within two years. Most of the big-name brand CD-Rs we tried turned out to have, on average, about an 85/15 chance of surviving. The brand we came to rely on was Verbatim. I still have audio discs made on Verbatim CD-Rs 18 years ago that still play absolutely fine. I can remember only a few that I had that bit the dust, buy hey, 1 out of every 200 or so... that's a damn good ratio. Even those were probably due to a slight manufacturing error on a single disc in a batch, or me accidentally dropping it at some point. Verbatim is the brand I always rely upon.

EXCELLENT RAPTOR DEFENSIVE COUNTER MEASURE
You won't even believe what I used these for... after repeated Chicken Hawk attempts on our pup in huge back yard, after much research I strung several strands of #14 galvanized wire 15 feet up about 20 feet apart. Every six feet on each wire was suspended one of these cd's on a 3 foot length of 50# monofilament. They were free to blow and spin in the breeze/wind and reflect suns rays in a kaleidoscope of eye searing colorful reflections. like a prism, all the colors of a rainbow, both sides. As I understand it, this cacophony of light is unbearable by the raptors... and it worked. I've seen them work neighbor yards, they like to camp out by bird feeding stations, but not in my yard. They've taken mice from the edge, but don't enter the yard, I guess they don't like aviating through the glare. Pup is up to 20# now, so they'll come down by attrition, neighbors are probably tired of looking at them. As a few of the cd's came down in winter storms (Ozarks) and rehung, they were in amazingly good shape. Only ones lost are those pup got before me. LOL... pieces. I've recovered ones in all covered with snow and ice and they look great... right back up on the wire. One day I will pull down some survivors and try a format and repost here. But their dance of reflections is great... especially with a light breeze under a full moon wow. Had 100+ hanging out there.
