hi, i just bought a spindle of blank cd's i just need someone to help me with whether or not i will be able to burn music onto them before i open them, because on the cover it just has "700mb" and doesnt have the 80 min part, on the side it says: "certain recorders/readers may not be fully compatible with extended capacity media" will i be able to burn music? i just wanna make sure before i open them and blow 30bucks

Unless your burner is really old, and I mean realllly old (IE. 2 or 4X burning speed) they will work just fine. I have an old 8X burner I use occasionaly and the 700meg discs work just fine on that.

Save the 30 bucks by returning them and getting CD-R media. I got 30, 700mb/80min/40x Multi Speed Memorex Music CD-R at Big K (K-Mart) for 13 bucks. They had 50 for $19. I could be wrong but it is my understanding that many CD players do not read the CD-RW media either (like my car's CD player, it doesn't do .mp3 either). I have about 50 Music CD-R's that I have burned stuff to; music and data. They work everywhere I try them. I have 3 CD-RW's that I have burned data upon. I can reuse these anytime I like and don't need more of them. CD-RW cost more and may or may not be compatible. If it is music you want then the Music CD-R or Audio CD-R gives the best quality for music. They do data just fine too. So long as you don't close out the CD-R then you can always add more to them later up to the 700mb. I don't believe anyone will argue the above points. (Maybe though, you never know) Regards, Bryan
