In case you haven’t noticed, MAM-A CD-R costs about twice what your normal Taiwanese-made CD-R would. Mitsui/MAM-A customers are a different breed. They are very knowledgeable about their specific use of CD-R. Why is it better? #1 The Dye Since the laser which records the data burns the dye, it is a key aspect of the technology required to manufacture a high-quality CD-R. Indeed, One of MAM's greatest strength lies in its use of the patented Phthalocyanine, the best organic dye currently available. #2 The Surface Mitsui/MAM-A discs feature their own “Diamond Coat” surface, which resists scratching and fingerprints. Unlike a pressed CD-ROM, normal CD-R processing leaves the most vital area the most vulnerable. Just below that lacquer surface & reflective layer on top of your disc is the precious dye layer, which is what stores all your data. Scratch the top, and you’ve got a problem. Mitsui/MAM-A Diamond Coat is an extra hard surface that keeps the data safe. #3 The Consistency Every disc Mitsui/MAM-A makes is made to the center of the Orange Book standard. They don’t cut any corners with shorter stacking rings (causes discs sticking together in automation), thinner reflective layers (poor playback on old readers, or dye (100-300 year life vs. 10-30)

Good CD-Rs
After the news that JVC/Taiyo Yuden would no longer be making CD-R discs, I remembered hearing about MAM-A media. I've used a few of their gold discs for more important projects and I believe Mobile Fidelity uses the same gold discs with for their Ultra Disc audiophile CDs. So far, I haven't cooked a coaster yet with these and they seem to be reliable enough. The glossy white finish is attractive enough. So yeah, these have been working pretty good for me. The only other alternative I'd recommend are the Verbatim CD-Rs. Not sure how the CMC Taiyo Yuden knockoffs are going to be, but so far these have been a decent alternative for us that are picky about their media.

Excellent price for a good-performing CD-R
This package of 80-min. blank CD-Rs with blank white faces for easy writing is a good buy; there is no case or spindle to contain them, but I used one from a previous purchase of a different brand. So far, I used about two dozen disks, all for music .wav files, with only 1 or 2 failures, and those because despite the apparent labeling of these discs as "80 min.", I have not been able to get them to record past about 79:20 (or 800 Megabytes). The final track is abruptly shortened if the disk is trying to record more than this, but at least my software indicates a failure. Aside from that limitation, this package is a bargain.

Super glossy surface
Another customer said they had a weird smell - yeah, they do. BUT, so what? They don't come on a spindle, but I already had one, so what? So far they work like they're supposed too. If anyone is looking for that smooth, glossy finish that's easy to write on with a Sharpie - these are the ones you want. I'll definitely buy them again. AAAAA+++++

Reliable & Sturdy
I have bought 4 packs of these discs and have been happy with them. (Mostly for burning audiobooks.) They are not too thin, as many major brands sell. And I've had no trouble with making coasters. Note - these come with no center spindle to hold the stack, so re-use one from a previous purchase.
