    I came across this article, http://www.envynews.com/review.php?ID=242

    Those CD's looks quite cool. But I can't find them from where I live.
    So before I'm going to order them by mail I would like to know if any of you have any experience of them yet?
    ATIP would be nice also.

    "However, some research on the site reveals that Verbatim’s ‘Azo’ discs are 24x-write capable and should work in all audio-CD and card players."

    Azo is patented by Mitsubishi, so they are Mitsus. Should be good - standard Mitsubishi with only goovy coating.

    I see those CDR's in a store here in Canada called Futureshop. www.futureshop.ca

    They come in a different colored packaging.

    I've never tried them but would be interested in the ATIP too. I've got some analog music I would like to put onto CD and these would be very cool. :D

    Hi,

    I haven't seen the Verbatim Vinyl discs but I have had a box of e3works Vinyl looking discs.

    These e3works CD-R are made by Gigastorage, and I would not recommend these. I had at least one disc go bad right after the burn, and the other ones do not fair well in Nero CD Check.

    Im sure the Verbatims are alright though.


    TOM...

    Cool.. :)

    I'd like to burn my music onto theese. The bad thing is that in Finland we have so called "Teosto"-fee (something like RIAA..?). It means that we have to pay pre-calculated amount of each media we buy.. And the disc with labelled audio-purpose, the fee is about twice than ordinary data-disc.. It sucks!

    But those Vinyl-looking disc's looks great :)

    It might be more fun to find a CD labelling kit to put an image of a vinyl LP on a burned CD instead? :D

    I don't know, I don't use labelling kits.

    I got a 10-pack of these discs at Target (in U.S.A.). Oddly, they don't mention the speed rating anywhere on the package or the discs. They are made in Taiwan (what's new?) and have a dark blue recording side just like their DataLifePlus discs. So really the only difference between these and other Verbatim discs is the top side which looks pretty cool. (Yes, there are actual grooves in the surface.) Just 2 little problems - (1) No space to write anything on the label, and (2) the package comes with insert cards for only 9 discs, not 10. I still think the discs with phthalocyanine dye like Mitsui sound better than cyanine dye (at least on my Mitsumi burner they do).

    It is not cyanine - it is metallized azo. And you can always DiscT@2 them if there is no space to write on :)

    Hi-Space made some vinyl data CDR. They are not listed on their website. They were advertised as "limited edition".
    Here's a picture : http://pageperso.aol.fr/lyonpio2001/pictures/cdrvinyl.jpg

    Their recordable side is black. They are actually Hi Space Carbon CD.

    Good quality. I think the ATIP was the same as the Carbon CD ones.
