Yes, it's true! Sony CD-r's are HORRIBLE! [Posted on 2008-01-01]
What everyone's saying is very true. When I had to back up everything on my hard disc, I would only have put 10 small picture files on each disk before I got a disc error message. So I went through 30 of them to back up material that should have fit on 5 discs. This whole time I thought it was some kind of configuration error with my pictures, but now I realize it was the CD-r's that were the problem. This is unbelievable that Sony has such low quality CD-r's--Sony is usually an excellent brand. My whole entertainment center (TV, VCR, TV, etc.) is Sony, and they work great! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
Don't waste your money! [Posted on 2008-01-17]
These CDs are a waste of time and money. I bought a 50 pack and out of the first 20 burns, at least 8 of them came up error burning to the disc. I called Sony about the problem and they basically said "too bad for you". I could keep all the bad discs and mail them in AT MY EXPENSE and they would send me some more crap cds to replace them. No thanks! Never buy this product!
You don't always get what you pay for! [Posted on 2008-02-15]
Man, Sony may do a great job at manufacturing electronics, but do a very poor job when it comes to manufacturing writable discs. I have bought a CDRW 5-disc package from Sony before, and experienced a lot of problems when trying to write/read from the disc once data was burned. I recently needed to buy some CD-Rs, and decided to purchase them at Walmart while I was there. Being naïve, I looked for the package with the higher price tag, believing that, "you get what you pay for." Sure enough, the 50CDQ80LS3 Sony 50 Pack CD-Rs were the higher priced product. Now I did rethink about the problems I have had with Sony's CDRWs that I had bought before, but concluded that it may have just been a bad batch, and to give them another chance. I went home and decided to burn some tracks onto these discs, using iTunes, only to find that after completion, the disc could not be read! I thought perhaps I did something wrong, so I put in a new disc and tried to burn a data CD to see if that would work (not using iTunes), but it didn't! I decided to try putting in another blank disc, only to find that the OS can't read or detect its format (and wouldn't give me an option to prep). On another computer, I encountered the same problems.
Now I have used up 1 of the 7 quota limit on eleven tracks for iTunes, and am left with no CD. This goes to show that you don't always get what you pay for! I hope this helps.
Very pleased with SONY CD-R [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I've used about 50 cd's out of my spindle. No problems, very smooth and clear. I use my CD-R to make back-up music CD's to play in my car and so far everything is perfect. I've used other brands this one is the best so far. I occasionally sell this product online; I wouldn't sell something that would cause more work, trying to sell, than the worth.
Pretty worthless... [Posted on 2008-06-25]
After 5 out of 6 burns resulted in errors, I thought that something might be amiss. Sure enough, there was: these discs are worthless. I've never seen anything like this really, especially from a well known electronics company like Sony. Steer way clear.
