I purchased two 50-packs of these to back-up data. Opened a pack and the first four Cd's had trouble passing Nero's burn verification (used two different burners.) Did not open the second pack. Had been using these for years. I guess I was shipped a bad batch. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Am now going to backup strictly on flash drives only.

Wouldn't you know it, after some 10 odd years, I finally ran out of that 100-pack CD-R spindle I bought. I still prefer to create hard copy backups of my smartphone's photos so I can sort them and lend them to friends & family, so I picked these up at a discounted price. They work just fine. The only downside is the vinyl-like embossing is black, so your standard black Sharpie marker naturally doesn't show up on those areas of the disc. The area on which you can label each disc is pretty small. No points docked, though -- 50 discs for 10 bucks is hard to complain about.

So first off: I have used these CD's for a little while now and as far as I can tell, they work fine. My CD player is a little iffy so I've had some problems (skipping and so forth) but I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the CD's. My issue is that the whole "Vinyl" part of the description is somewhat misleading: as far as I can tell, these are just normal CD's that the company has glued a black (possibly) vinyl front onto. So, it looks kinda cool ("ooh, a CD that looks like a record!") but they are hard to write on (see: BLACK) and aren't really any different than a normal CD. Kinda gimmicky.
