Summary: CD-R Music: as advertised
Comment: These are reasonably priced discs and, so far, they have all recorded music from my computer as advertised.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Good CDs!!!
Comment: I've used these for a couple of years with near perfect success on my Tascam CD burner. Prior to acquiring the Tascam, I was burning discs on a second-hand JVC unit and having to toss 50% of the discs, Maxell or otherwise. Obviously, a great deal of your recording success is related to the capacity and quality of the burner and not to the discs. Sound quality and reliability of the Maxell Music CD-Rs is great and I recommend them highly.

Summary: all right by me !!!
Comment: Maxell makes a very reliable blank CD-R that can handle up to 80 minutes of music or 700 megabytes of data. Moreover, these blank CD-Rs are capable of recording data at high speeds. I have used these as data discs and discs to record audio. I almost never got a coaster. Great!
The CD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data or music onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your CD-Rs that have anything stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.
There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than the packaging advertises. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your CD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the CD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you? If you need to label the discs, label its jewel case using a post-it note.
Overall, Maxell blank CD-R discs store data very reliably and I believe that an extra minute or so to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it just in case it doesn't actually burn at the very highest speed advertised.

Summary: Don't waste your time or money
Comment: Of all of the CD-R Music media I have used, Maxell has been by far the worst. Out of a spindle of 30 I have had to throw at least half of them away (and a number of the CD's that "worked" I burned pictures to, so it wasn't just a music issue).
When I contacted Maxell they agreed based on my feedback that I was using the discs correctly and asked for information from the packaging (which had been discarded; there is nothing of note on the packaging beyond what is on the shrink wrap). Then they asked me to send the bad discs in for replacement (and since I generally don't sit down to burn 30 discs at a time, most of these had again, been discarded as the problems occurred).
I think that Maxell will work with you if you save all of the "garbage" (shrink-wrap, bad discs) - but it seems unlikely that someone is going to save/collect these things over the course of using the entire spindle.
