Summary: Great discs for everyday burning!!
Comment: I've been using the silver data TDK's for a while now, and I've had no problems, they are reliable and they sound superb. I was buying the white music version, but after using and listening to both, there is no difference, although I have a friend who won't use the silver discs because the package doesn't say music!Pretty silly.
Anybody who claims to have problems with errors needs to slow down the burn speed. What is this obssesion with burning at high speeds?? I burn all my dvd's and cd's at 1 and 2x. I guarantee you will not have errors, unless you use poor technique or a piece of junk burner. Slow it down, and you'll get more consistent results. When I burn a dual layer dvd with a 7-8 gb file, it takes about 40 minutes on my Lacie burner, so what!!!! Press record, and go away, watch the tube or whatever. Also, buy the Cardas test cd, about $20 bucks, it has two tracks on it that demagnetize the entire signal path. Use it on the computer, cd and dvd players and let it play thru your stereo or home theatre system. Makes an audible difference, and I think it just might minimize writing errors. All these little things make a difference. My non audiophile friends have commented to me on how good my cd's sound, this is not an accident, believe me!!
TDK's are great, but if you want to go beyond that, try Mitsui dvd's and cd-r's. They are the best with a lifespan or 75 and 300 years for the silver and gold respectively. Total overkill, but total quality also!!

Summary: Slow Burn
Comment: I too am experiencing the problems of the original post. I purchased the 48x TDK 50 disc spindle. I was sent a 52x 50-pack spindle. So far, no matter the speed about 5 of 25 have successfully burned. Using Nero. I use the much less lauded Verbatims I have that are over two years old, no problems. I do not know what to make of it. Previous to this purchase, I had nothing but glowing reviews for TDK CD-R media.

Summary: The Best. Period
Comment: I have went through so many Cd-R blanks and finally found some with some good dye and have zero error burning rate. TDK is amazing. The first one i've burned i've now had for over a year and still no defects on the back of it. It's amazing.

Summary: TDK works great
Comment: I have burned over 200 of these blanks with no troubles. Most important to me is the compatibility with all CD players, even older ones. TDK works perfectly, highly recommended versus bargain basement CD-Rs.

Summary: Great quality and overall value
Comment: I've been using these CD's for a while now and they work extremely well on my Lite-On SOHW-1673S, getting burning times of 2 min 30 sec average for a whole CD at maximum speed. Highly recommended.
