Is there any real advantage to having these over a normal CDr? Or is it just a hipster thing? I thought they could be good for burning lossless..

They are a strictly a nostalgic throw back to a by gone era. I purchased a pack for a gift for a musician friend and he loved them.

I don't know what lossless is. They're not any different than regular CDs, they just have a different look, although I would describe it as more retro than hipster.

Yeah, I use them for burning lossless, both from CD's, LP's and online digital sources. Don't know if they're an advantage over other CD-R's, but VERBATIM is my CD-R of choice. I sometimes use MAXELL, but not SONY ( alot of "propritory" problems with my equipment.). And, yes, you could call it a "hipster" thing......I'm a product of the '50's~'60's generation!!!

I use them to record sermons on our Chruch's recording system. The CD R Music/Audio formated disc are the only ones that will work on our machine.

I can only comment based on my experience of over 10 years and thousands of DVD-Rs and DVD+R DL; some optical drive burners have problems burning to certain manufacturers' blank discs. My Plextor won't even recognize the presence of TDK brand discs. The LG Blu-ray burner will burn to Optimum DVD+DL discs but the results are always questionable; during playback the player can't find the second layer. I quit using Optimum brand discs as a result. And I've had DVD burners that worked like a champ for three or four years that suddenly started screwing up requiring their replacement. Nothing electronic works forever. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer to your problem.

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

ive been burning with amazon's basic dvd+r stuff for a while and after a few hundred disks, very few fails.i think my drive is burning up now, is the only problem, but its old and has about 1k burns through it.

I am really not sure exactly what you are asking however I buy the CDR to record music I don't think the others will record music I hope this helps you sincerely SR Charlotte North Carolina

all you're doing is wasting your time. burners have been developed and perfected to handle fast burn speeds. ESPECIALLY for something as old as CDs. you're not getting 'better results' or 'better quality' you're just wasting your time and burning the disc significantly slower than you need to

I have an ~360 CD/DVD Disk Book that I use to keep by "backup files" in. Started with 74/80 min CD-Rs. Then, converted all of them to single layer DVDs (mostly Memorex from Walt-Mart); Now, I'm down to 40 empty slots and thinking about switching to Dual Layer DVDs. So, the short answer is *YES*, you can use 'em for backups.

My experience is that if you try to burn digital media at the quoted maximum speed, you are probably pushing the limits of the manufacturer's quality control standards, especially if your burner came from a different manufacturer. I back off a little, so I'm burning 16X discs at 12X recording speed. Doing that, I've been able to get 100% success rate with about 8 spindles of this particular media.

That is very odd. I have a Pioneer internal Blu-ray burner...these are the only discs I have used with it (the 6x) and they have been great...never had a problem with them.

It uses most types. But I would NOT buy it. It will work for awhile but will stop and ruin every CDR you try to use.

Sorry. I just used this device tu burn data disks (25GB data) for backups. Is a good unit. In my knowledge, when you burn a disk for yourself, is region free.

Yes!!! I have a Philips CDR 950 standalone recorder (AWESOME...will take it to my grave) and they work flawlessly with it. Sorry I didnt see this question sooner. I havent tried other brands of CDRW but these TDKs work great so stock up!!!

I have only used the product to install programs so far. I believe that the specs indicate a CDR write speed of 24x and a DVR write speed of 8x

I have only just used them burn videos and movies. Don't really know what else you could use them for.

Well,depend I did use them in Pioneer recorder for makeing copy from HD and about 20% machine rejected for some unknown reasonI will sugest single layer DVD for such project

The answer depends on your cd player and current dac that you are using. This unit provides a very high level of processing of lower resolution files and really does a good job in squeezing a bit extra out of them. If this is an upgrade for you depends on your existing equipment.
