Spin-X 100 12X Digital Audio Music CD-R 80min 700MB Shiny Silver

I am editing my first review since I have purchased twice now...Being a musician, I record heavily on a "Phillips Brand stand alone CD Recorder" and had been using "Memorex" for years as they worked better than other brands. With time I noticed that all "Digital Audio blank CDs from Memorex, as well as other brands were getting harder to find and my machine also started having problems reading and recording from the newer marketed blank CDs. I figured maybe it was just due to normal wear and tear on my recorder; However, after reading many reviews about this product (Pro-Disc) my machine has worked flawless. I would recommend using this product for any home CD recording over anything found at the store... My second purchase was also made thru "GenesysDTP" as they are who I bought from originally the first time - I noticed some new 1 star reviews saying the product was not up to standard maybe due to other sellers of this product but this seller has been awesome. I have tested my second batch of CDs and again flawless recording. Also, the review about not being able to distinguish between the recording side of the CD - there actually is a slight greenish tint on the recording side. Also, I really don't care to see a cheesy brand name on my CDs as all store brands will have - so it is an added bonus!

Love them. I needed blanks for an old Pioneer CD recorder deck that only accepts music discs, which are nearly impossible to find in the stores. These arrive in eco-friendly packaging, wrapped in cellophane, no spindle, etc. They do work in my recorder, and can be played back in all four of our family cars. The discs are blank on both sides, which apparently causes some confusion as to which side to record on.. They are all stacked facing the same way, record side down. If you are still not sure, put the disc in the machine. If it does not recognize the disc, FLIP IT OVER. These are a great value, and sound as good as the Memorex white label ones I used to buy.

These discs are tricky to use, don't throw a disc out if it doesn't read or you get an error message or an error when finalizing, sometimes you have to try to finalize a few times before it takes. just pop the disc out and put it back in, let it read, I found it's good to play a couple tracks on an unfinalized disc prior to finalizing, then for some reason it will finalize. Bottom line don't freakout right away when you get an error message. These discs do die, but most of the time a dead disc isn't really dead.

Received these from Amazon. Purchased the 'digital audio' CDsfor my TEAC LP-R400 LP to CD recorder since regular CD-R CDs willnot work; must be 'Digital Audio'.Anyway I am returning these CDs because it is impossible todetermine which side of the CD is the recordable side; bothsides look identical with no marking of any kind. Take a lookat any purchased music CD and look at the shiny silver side youinsert into a player silver side down in order to play.Now picture both sides of these CDs looking just like the silverside. Duh . . . which side do I insert down on the recorder.Can't tell so I am returning. What a waste of time to have purchasedthese.

I use these discs to burn master copies of the audio backing tracks that I produce. Lately, I have been purchasing very expensive Gold discs from MAM-A because other commercial blank discs from Sony, who I used often before, started failing. So, I gave Prodisc Spin-X a try and I am very satisfied with the results. The discs faithfully reproduce the sound I hear through my monitors after mixing and making my masters.

When I ordered these, I was wondering what "shiny silver" actually meant. I found out! It is quite difficult to tell which side is the recordable side. Both sides look about alike.I have a Philips stand-alone CD recorder which works with every brand of MUSIC CD-R I've ever tried....up to now!These DO NOT work in it.However, since they can be used in our church machine, a newer one (& different brand), I opted to keep them. I am having to apply adhesive labels on the non-recordable sides for ease of identification. Otherwise, there'd be a 50-50 chance of putting the CD-R's in upside down! (And, yes, I DID try them again WITH the labels attached, thinking my machine might be scanning incorrectly w/o any label - or ANYTHING - to "slow down" the laser pickup.)Due to the extra expense of labels, the "good deal" on $$$ isn't so good.'Wish I'da known this earlier. "Shiny silver" is denoting the LABEL side, folks! ('Looks just like the recordable side.)Could I use them myself? No. Are they salvagable? Yes.Would I purchase them again? Probably not.

My TDK 3826 duel cf recorder, had its TDK CD-R/CD-RW disc, but like so many things, is now hard to find. This disc loads and records accurately, with no coasters in over 100 transfers. I copy my SACD, SHM, Mobil Fidelity Gold disc, to protect the originals and still enjoy the music. By the way they also work well in my Phillips, CDR-775.

I first purchased this item in 2009 and they worked fine for my Philips stand alone recorder. But my recent re-order proved otherwise; my deck won't accept them at all. Maybe because they are made in Taiwan or because my deck is getting old and is extra picky (Mitsui discs work great but cost more). I suppose they'll work for computer use but I already have too many for that purpose. Beware they may not work in all recorders as stated.
