These are quality writable disc's for a good price. They are definitely a good return on the investment. The top side is designed to be written on, so they are permanent marker friendly. They also work as music CD's up to 80 minutes, I don't know why the description said otherwise.

I bought these thinking I was getting Verbatim quality and was very disappointed to discover that they are manufactured by CMC Magnetics. CMC Magnetics has a terrible reputation and their media don't last.

Verbatim name brand; large writable area for labeling and writing on

These discs are CMC Magnetics; media code 97m26s66f

I've used this brand many times with no problems. On top of that they were on sale for $8.99. Can't beat that price.

The big O is my main internet store. I use them for most of my purchases.

They are fantastic all shiny and rainbows seem to be captured on their surface, it enabled me to burn lots of beautiful songs for my beautiful girlfriend :)

Ignore my previous review. My DVD drive has broken and has stopped reading CD's, although it is reading DVD's fine! I'm sure these CD's will be ok.
