VerbatimCD-R Blank Discs 700MB 80min 52X Recordable Disc for Data and Music with Digital Vinyl Surface - 50pk Spindle Blue/Green/Orange/Pink/Purple

I drive cars that still have CD players so having these on hand works to preserve my originals while using the equipment I have. I don't have to finagle with my phone while in the car to put my music on the radio. It's a significantly safer way to have your music on while driving.I've been buying these for my mix burns and portable copies for a long time. The only issue I run into with them is with my early portable CD player from 1991. But I think that's to be expected. They play perfectly in my cars, and that's why I keep buying them.The vinyl styling is always fun, and they burn perfect in Brasero on Debian. In fact, I recently had to burn a copy of the Debian installer to one of these so I can attest they work well for data storage as well.

These are very high quality discs, and I really love the vinyl record aesthetic. Its very well done and pretty convincing. These burn and read perfectly. Unfortunately, these didn't work for what I got them for. Trying to install Windows XP Integral edition on an old laptop, but thats a problem with the laptop, not the discs. The discs work perfectly fine on my Linux computer, my windows 10 pc, and on the said laptop, the laptop just didn't want to accept the file. Discs function perfectly fine regardless of what device I'm viewing them on or had burned them on. So, while it didn't work for installing XP Integral, they DO work very well, look fantastic, and are very high quality. I will still be using the rest for other purposes. I do highly recommend these.

I love how it looks and how it works.

Speaking for these CD-R's alone, they are absolutely flawlessly great. These are CD-R CD's which means they are strictly for recording audio. They are "NOT" CD-RW which would make them data writable for computer information. I've bought these several times here on Amazon for the past three or four years now. I usually buy the 50 pack and out of all the ones I've bought in the past few years, I wound up with only one dud (coaster). I've discovered they last a long time with good care unlike your average recordable cd's that break down under conditions and age, maybe these owe their longevity to its dark thick upper surface.It's a normal CD-R with 80 minutes worth of recording time, but it's made to look like a 45 rpm vinyl record. As you can see from the pictures, there isn't a lot of room for writing your titles. However I've been able to fit most of my titles with a fine point marker by writing small. The top of the CD is also textured just like a record, grooves and all.As far as sound reproduction, I've found they have excellent sound quality, and never had any hiccups. I've never had a player that wouldn't play them either.Now the reason I buy these is not just because, they look cool, but because I'm an audiophile who listens to vinyl records on a daily basis. Being that, I have to back up my records by transferring them to CD so I don't wear them out from over-play, and so I can bring my vinyl recordings with me on vacation. For that purpose these have served great. I love the look and feel of them as well as the sound.I've been a return customer for some time now on these and I will indefinitely continue to be. It makes my friends smile when I hand them a copy of their old favorites from a vinyl record they once loved and find that the CD itself looks like a record. Great party, wedding gifts, etc...I highly recommend these with perfect confidence in your satisfaction. Have fun, and stay groovy!!

As someone who enjoys vinyl all around, I thought these were pretty cool when I came across them on Amazon. I love to collect vinyl and it's always a bummer if you are wanting a particular album on vinyl but either can't find it or it was never produced on vinyl. This obviously doesn't solve that issue but it's a nifty substitute for someone who wishes they had every CD they owned on vinyl. The colors are fun as well. I've only used two of the blank discs that came in this package and they both worked flawlessly after copying diigital music albums to them. The price was a bit steep for my taste but I figured I'd give them a shot just for the fun of it. Overall a good purchase 👌🏻

I love these old school disks. Never had a problem with them.

This is super CD-R media, just fantastic quality from Verbatim, as usual. For my most precious DL DVD+R movies I also use Verbatim media, as it does cost a bit more than the regular stuff, but I don't ever seem to get errors with writes using it, and I rank their DL DVD+R media also right up there with the finest stuff, just like this CD-R media.The look of a "45-RPM record" doesn't hurt this media either does it?! I wish there were a bit more room to write on the labeling area of this Digital Vinyl, but because of the distinctive design of the media there is precious little room to label a CD-R recording, just a scant 2 lines, and short lines at that.I have used about 1/2 my 50-pack now, and no coasters yet, it seems to burn very effectively at a nice, conservative 24X-Speed in recording mode on any of my optical drives. All in all, I highly recommend this media for consistency and good reproduction for digital CD's and any music you want to put to CD-R. It's not cheap, but when you get right down to it it's really not that expensive either, for what you get.Wavey Davey - 12-27-2009

As advertised it recorded up to 80 mins. I love the way they look and sound. Their probably my top choice of cd now, especially if you're looking for CDs that have some color to them instead of those blank no design ones
