Product Information

Full details

These high-capacity discs offer a balance of 80 minutes of audio time or 700MB of storage, ensuring compatibility with most consumer-grade audio players. While these discs are highly durable and resistant to sunlight, it is important to note that as write-once media, they cannot be erased or re-recorded once finalized.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these CDs be erased and rewritten?

No, these are CD-R (write-once) discs and cannot be erased or modified once finalized.

Will these work in my car CD player?

Yes, once the CD has been finalized in a recorder, it should play in almost all standard car CD players.

How should I store these discs?

Keep them on the provided spindle in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect the recording layer from degradation.

Can I use these for data files?

Yes, while optimized for audio, they function as standard 700MB CD-R media and can hold files.

What is the recording time limit?

Each disc provides 80 minutes of audio recording time.

Troubleshooting

Disc is not recognized by the recorder

Ensure the recorder supports CD-R media. Clean the disc surface gently with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints.

Burn failure during recording

Check that the recording speed is set to a lower value. High-speed recording can occasionally cause errors on older audio hardware.

Audio skipping during playback

Inspect the disc for deep scratches. If the disc is clean, attempt to re-burn at a lower writing speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for archival of analog or digital audio sources
  • Optimized for high-fidelity music recording
  • Resistant to UV-induced degradation
  • Large 50-pack volume is cost-effective for frequent users
  • Reliable compatibility with standard CD players

Cons

  • Write-once (CD-R) format means no data updates possible
  • Requires a compatible CD-R burner device
  • Modern computers often lack optical drives for writing discs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best recording results, handle discs only by their outer edges to prevent smudges on the data surface. When writing music, use a dedicated CD recorder or a computer-based optical drive with compatible burning software. For labeling, use only soft-tip permanent markers on the non-data side to avoid damaging the recording layer. Store the discs on the provided spindle in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain longevity and data stability.
