Item arrived quickly and in good conditions. Provides excellent sound quality for music cds.
This CD-R's work good on a PC, I have a Vaio Sony so it shouldn't be a problem but if you try these on a standard CD player only a couple of tracks will work. When I use Maxell evertything's fine.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to record music on a CD that'll play in a vehicle. I'm a senior citizen and somewhat digitally challenged, but I wanted to download iTunes music from the 60s and 70s on a CD that I could play in either my pickup truck or my Jeep Compass. My son loves the Sony CDs but isn't sure they will play in a vehicle CD player. These Sony CDs did record well and the sound quality was quite good but they would not play in my vehicle. Thanks.
After using a 50pack of Memorex successfully, I decided to give Sony a try based on the rave reviews. Never saw this error before with the Memorex discs I had used. I went through the first 15 discs off the top of the Sony stack before giving up. Every disc aborted the burn process with a "Power Calibration Error". I tried all the possible speeds (8x, 16x, 32x without any luck). It could be an incompatibility with my DVD drive (it is a Memorex drive, after all), but I can find anything about the issue Googling, at least nothing that will fix it.Anyway, sounds like other folks have had better success so I would just avoid these if one is using a Memorex DVD 16X drive.
I just got my CDs in the mail today; they were manufactured in Taiwan [50CRM80RS], not in Japan [50CRM80LS2]. I was expecting the red set with this order, and did not get it.The facts are simple; compact discs made in China, Taiwan, Malaysia or any Asian country besides Japan are inferior to the Japanese made discs, which, without exception, are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, the company responsible for inventing the CD-R. I plan to use these discs, but they will be the last not-made-in-Japan blank CDs that I will ever buy. Sony has clearly discontinued the Japanese-made CDs with the red packaging (as a lack of price on their website for it will indicate), as all I see in the stores now are the purple packaging that I got in the mail. Granted, I've written in Sharpie on all of my discs, so they're probably all doomed anyway, but still.I suspect that the RIAA is behind this decision, forcing those who manufacture CDs for America to only use non-Japanese manufacturers who make inferior product, but that's my own paranoia speaking.BUY TAIYO YUDEN. These CDs made in other countries by other manufacturers will work, and they'll do what you need them to do, but I do not believe they're guaranteed the lifespan that Taiyo Yudens have.
