Summary: Great Audio CD-R's
Review: A few years ago, I had a 50 spindle of these Maxell CD-R's. They worked great for me. I've used them for making personal mixes, and they still play fine til this day. I believe these CD-R's came out in 2001. CD-R's that were sold back then seem to be better than the ones being sold today. Most of the new music CD-R's I've purchased today are either defective, or just won't play in certain stereo systems. These particular CD-R's played in every stereo I've used so far.
So, if you're looking into purchasing these, I'd have to say that you're making a good choice.

Summary: Maxell Audio CDRs Now Poor Quality!
Review: Buyer beware: this is no longer the same product. Maxell has recently changed their audio CDRs. Formally, they were manufactured in Japan; now they are made in Taiwan. All the older Maxell discs would play in EVERYTHING. However, a large percentage of discs in this new CDR media are defective. The new discs will no longer play in my Panasonic boom box or in my Honda car stereo. Worse, some of these CDs will fail to play in anything after a few days.

Summary: Best on the market
Review: For me these have been the best CD's on the market. I basically used this brand because they were the ones I generally used when transferring my albums to cassette. The same quality continues.

I personally never liked using Fuji or Sony recording media in the past. TDK wasn't bad with cassettes; however, my record with CD-R's with them has been 25 wasted discs out of a spindle of 50. I have so far used hundreds of the Maxells (this line and their others) and have only had one or two discs I had to discard due to errors.

Also, all the ones I made a few years ago still sound great.

These are the best CD-R's for both price and performance.

Summary: unreliable discs
Review: I burn about 50 CDs a week in live music trades. I can tell you from experience that these discs do not last. After a year or so, they start to skip more and more and have all sorts of problems. Any scratches that they have only make it worse. I recommend using Sony, Fuji, or TDK. All the others are cheaply made in comparison and just don't stand the test of time. So if you care about preserving your CDs, don't use these ones.

Summary: The Best CDR Music Media
Review: I have used Maxell Music CDR's for several years now and find them superior to any other brand I have tried. They play easily in all of my CD players and the sound is crystal clear!

Summary: great product, works very well for me
Review: I was surprised to see the results the prior reviewer had in using these music CD-Rs. I have been using the Maxell CD-Rs for three years and I have never had a problem. The home audio CD Recorder that I use is the Sony RCD-W1 and I get a perfect copy every time with the Maxell CD-Rs. I know some CD burners on PCs can use music/audio CD-Rs to make copies but I know that there are occasional burn/read errors when using them. In that situation, I suggest sticking to regular CD-Rs. I have a stack of burned Maxell CD-Rs that I am alwasys listening to in my car and to date play flawlessly.

Summary: Not the best looking CDs out there
Review: The quality is fine, can't really complain there. However, these have got to be some the of the ugliest CDs I have ever seen! They have this orange-yellow swirl design on them which makes it difficult to see the title of the CD when you write it on the disk. I got them because I figured that they were a good price, but I kinda wish I had spent a few extra dollars on some CD's that aren't so much of an eyesore.
