With writeable CD's offering so much choice in today's market, you can afford to be a bit choosy when buying the media you want. Nearly every company that once offered audio tapes now offers a range of recordable CD's. However, it does not stop there. Most technology companies that make Computer hardware have taken it on themselves to offer recordable CD's too. But they are all different standards with some more suitable to certain tasks than others. One of the better writeable CD manufacturers on the market today are Memorex.
Let me tell you about Memorex CD's. Firstly, they offer an entire range of recordable media. First off are its CD-R's which are "one shot wonders". This means they can be recorded on once only. If it goes wrong during the recording process, the Disc is lost. Next up are their CD-RW which are rerecordable. More expensive that a standard "one shot wonder" and suffer a lower perofrmance when recording. They also fail when used on home Hi-Fi systems generally. They also make recordable DVD's which I am yet to use.
The CD-R's are not just limited to one type either. They understand the differences between home audio and computer data and manufacture a range to suit both. Basically, a music CD recorded on your computer can play fine on the PC it is recorded on. However, port this over to your Car CD player and or Hi-Fi and you can start running into problems. Discs are rejected or not seen. Some skip track, just spin or dont work altogether. Go onto a newsgroup or discussion forum online and you will find hundreds of people stating this and asking what is the best thing to cure it. The Answer most of the time is "USE A DECENT AND SUITABLE MEDIA TO RECORD ON!" So look to Memorex for the answer to your Audio CD's not playing. Their two main types of CD are suited to either data ot Music recording. You need to decide when you buy them where the CD is most likely to be played. If it is in your Car, opt for the music. If it is for games or software, opt for the Data CD's. The difference? Well, its mainly in the Dye in the CD. Pick up a CD that is suitable for music and you will find it may have a slightly green or blue tinge to the recordable side. This is called the Base Colour. A cheaper CD often uses less dye and is more silver in appearance. This is because they are more suited to recording Data. A laser in a PC can often be stronger than older home Hi-Fi which means it works better with the more light-dependant silver CD's. The weaker home Hi-Fi lasers will read the less light dependant green Dye CD's made by Memorex. Other manufacturers such as Sony and TDK offer this principle too but Memorex seem to be the best I have used for audio reliability. So you have the green tinged CD's for Music and the SIlver standard CD's for data. Both work fine in the computer for data so if that is your primary purpose, you are fine.
The recordability of these CD's is second to none, mainly because of its readability rates. During recording, less reliable brands or cheaper unbranded CDs can often stop or skip. This leads to poor playback, if any, from the media. It can also lead to losing the disc altogether. With Memorex mastering the quantity of reflective base colour, you know you will get a good result everytime and one that will last. I have found cheaper CD's tend to stop working after a time. A bit like a tape wearing out. Memorex go on and on forever.
Quantities are varied to suit you pocket. Memorex tend to offer you the range of products in 3 forms. Spindle, Slimline and Standard. While the CD's inside the packets tend to be the same, the packagain differs. Firstly is the spindle. This is often the cheapest way to by Memorex CD's but also the least safe. The CD's come on a ling spindle without individual cases and stuck one on top of th eother. This means they are more likely to be left lying around and getting scratched. But, without the cost of cases, the price is much lower. Spindles normally carry 25 or 50 CDs.
Next up is the slimline. This relates to the cases the CD comes in. A box of 10 is the traditional way to buy but also available individually. These are very thin. Not much thicker than a CD and very flimsy. Safer than the Spindle but not as strong as the Standard. A nice pocket sized box to carry around.
The last box is the Standard. Again boxes of 10. This is the type of CDs that you would by from a Music Shop. The same wide jewel cases and inlays. Handy if you are recreating albums for your Home music collection and want them to lok good on the shelf.
Prices. Not too bad although much more expensive than unbranded discs. You are looking at £12 for a box of 10 standards Which is £1.20 a CD. A box of Slimlines is about £8-10 for 10 which is 80p-£1 a CD. A spindle will cost about £30 for 50 CD's which is 60p a CD. Compare this to a box of Cheap CDs at £7 for 10 (70p each) Cheap slimlines £5 for 10 (50p a CD) and a spindle of 50 for £20 (40p a CD) So you are looking at a markup of at least 50%. However, you will get more failures with unbranded and this soon balances the cost.
I choose Memorex every time and they are one of the best on the market.
Advantages: Cheap & Very Reliable, Fast Speed Disadvantages: None
...disc available.
The Company Memorex has been going for a number of years. I even remember them as a kid making good old fashioned tapes. They are a mid range buyer level more than anything else.
The Discs are suitable for anyone who wants a permanent media to store data on. -R means write once allowing you to only write the information to the disc once. Although some software programs support multi session allowing you to add data to the disc.
... ...have definitely found this with Memorex CD-R discs.
They are 700MB or 80 Mins standard single layer discs and are 52x in speed. One of the fastest speeds on the market. Most modern recorders support this speed however some are slower. The discs still work with a slower burner but are limited in write speed to the recorder being used. They come in packs of 25, 50 & 100 discs in a cake layer box. I personally pay £6 for a box of 100 and consider them ...

...I always use spare of Memorex and it was convinced for its products I got rich also quite fast.
This was exactly a 50s spindle of Memorex with 700 MB of brutes at a humane price that for what I looked and also needed, don't reach in a considered way and off to the register.
? the spindle ?
This spindle has the form and height of a brute approximately and is completely made of plastic.
The name of the manufacturer and also the specifications are ... ...this 50s brute spindle of Memorex for only 13.99 euros and I really must say this price is extremely super for highly qualitative brutes for these. ? my opinion ?
What shall one only in conclusion say over such good brutes?
Clear to Na!
You simply are slap-uply and in any case to recommend her waiters and underside are rather robust and stable and easy to describe.
They were more than reliable practice test and let themselves be been aching for ...

Advantages: Reliable Disadvantages: I could have brought them cheaper elsewhere
...with. I have heard of Memorex before and have purchase VHS' from them before and they worked fine. Going on previous expirences of memorex products I thought they would be O.K.
I brought the pack of CDR's for £19.99 for a pack of 25 which I thought was quite reasonable until I was told about online stores doing them for cheaper. The CDR's come on a spindel which is useful to keep the dust off them. Each CDR can hold 700mbs of data and 80 minutes ... ...Memorex, don't you dare' and Memorex didn't let me down, all my files were there and I loaded them onto my computer, everything was fine again.
I have used the CDR's for more stuff recently and there has not been a single problem yet, every backup has been perfect.
You may now be thinking that Memorex CDR's are no different to other CDR's, well true, most of them, but in the past I have expirenced CDR's that refused to load and others that wouldn't ...

Advantages: Blank Cd's, On A Spindle, Diffrent Colour Scheme, Low Cost Disadvantages: No Jewel Cases,
...(700Mb) cdr. Well fear not Memorex have the perfect cdr’s for the job. These are Cd-r's not Cd+r's.
They come in packs of 25, which is great because most cdr’s I use only require the bulk purchased 74min cdr’s. They come on a spindle which reduced the price you have to pay because some other cdr’s that come in jewel cases cost that little bit more. The spindle doesn’t bother me because it allows me to separate the Memorex cdr’s from the other cdr’s. ... ...am considering trying out more Memorex products to see if they have the same quality. You should be able to pick up a pack of these for under £10. I get them from my local computer shop for £9.99 and am happy to pay this price. If you are looking for a cdr that wont let you down, your search ends here. ...

Advantages: Good quality, large capacity, cheap Disadvantages: Erm.....not very good beer mats?
So it got to the time in every person's life that changes them....that one event that makes them a real adult.....that they remember until the day they die....
.....it was the first time I was going to burn a CD.
With little knowledge about what to do or how to do it (I seem to be keeping the analogy going!), I wanted to make the whole experience as easy as possible (I'm sorry - it's not intentional!)
So I had a good look around the usual shops ... ...reasonable price - and at £4.99 from Play for 10 CDs, including cases - these pretty much fit the bill
If you're going to be doing a lot of burning then obviously one of those CD towers is going to be more beneficial, but for those inexperienced and nervous like me, these offer the ideal opportunity to "try before you buy" at a reasonable price...
...and you get a lovely plastic case to keep the CDs in, unlike the towers
The CDs are apparently ...
