Review on πŸ’Ώ Maxell 648220 Enhanced Recording Surface for Uninterrupted Playback Write Speed 48x 700Mb CD-Recordable 5 Disc Pack by Phillip Brown

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreadable results, very poor quality

I burned 3 discs and none of them were readable after creation. Tried slower write speeds, alternate file formats, and changing the filename/file structure to make things easier. After spending 2 hours and watching 14 CDs, none of the results worked reliably on 2 different CD players. Some showed directory but then didn't play MP3 files, others were just "unrecognized format". I switched to a Memorex CD I bought from Staples and with the fastest speed and the original filenames/structures for the files, each CD was perfect. Same burner, same settings, same two CD players. Looks like Memorex is using faulty coatings.

Pros
  • Maxell's 80-minute 700MB recordable CD-Rs are compatible with high-speed recorders up to 48X.
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
