Summary: Does not work in Mac's
Comment: I purchased this product to burn cd's for my legally purchased digital music from iTunes and Amazon. I can not create cd's using the superdrive that came installed in my MacBook. I have also read where users are experiencing the same problem on MacBook Pros. The media is cool to look at, but it simply does not work using the built in drive superdrive. I spoke with Apple support and they offered to replace the drive under warranty, however, I have had my MacBook for less than two months and this media has been available for a few years. The tech support representative stated he did not know if the replacement drive would be newer or resolve the problem. Luckily I have an external Sony DVD burner that works fine with the media. However, I can make audio cd's using the external drive instead of the internal.

Summary: Great quality - hard to label
Comment: I haven't had a bad CD in the bunch yet, and the black color is very classy looking. However, since the entire CD is black, there's no place to write a label! As everyone knows, sticking a label on a CD is a bad idea because it unbalances the rotation of the CD and there's a chance that the label will come off inside the player, so that's not an option.
They've left an area for a label - all they have to do is make it a color that a permanent marker can be read from.

Summary: Quality is sub-par; lack of writing surface
Comment: I've used these discs for both standard PC data media (burnt ISOs for backups and general data), for CD/Redbook audio, and for some grey-market consoles (select people will know what I mean by this. :) )
Out of a 50 pack, I ended up with about 6 coasters. Not horrible, but not great either.
These discs have a tendancy to be "noisy" when read from -- the thickness and size of the discs, despite being standard, must be off by a slight margin since they end up rattling around inside of drives at higher speeds (32x+). Other vendor's discs don't seem to do this.
These discs do not perform very well under high speed operations (32x+) either; lots and lots of media re-reads. Again, other vendor's discs seem to perform OK.
But the worst part, in my opinion, is that there's no writing surface on the label side of the disc! It's almost completely (99%) black. How are you supposed to write on the disc what the contents are?! Oh right, there's a 1cm strip along the edge of the CD (curved none the less) where you can write. Thus you're forced to buy stickers that go on the disc (which end up making the discs unbalanced in weight, thus making even more noise than mentioned above).
I'd have given these discs 3 stars had the quality been better, but the lack-of area to write on is appalling. I really don't know what Memorex was thinking.

Summary: Perfect so far
Comment: I usually have problems with Memorex CD-Rs, I've even had one spindle where every other cd was bad. But I've been through about 5 of these Black 50-packs and haven't had one CD-R fail yet. These are the only kind I'll use for my business. Very good product.

Summary: burned almost 100 without error
Comment: I am converting a personal library of LP's & 45's to CD's and have burned almost 100 CD's to date and have yet to have a single problem. I label them using Memorex labels and haven't experienced any blistering. I use the CD's for archiving, as I play the music on my iPod, but always listen to the CD's after they have been burnt to ensure they are OK. I rely upon reviews when making purchases and thought, in light of the bad ones for this product, that I needed to add my experiences.
