Use for more than ten years, the blanks of Platinum. Have perhaps more than a thousand pieces of it burned, and the work is still super. Bought it at that time still in the store, now I order it on Amazon. In all that time were scarce one hundred pieces, factory, incorrectly. What else than CD -Rohlinge of Platinum is not an option for me. Especially when it comes to audio - CDs goes, they are with any old CD - Player (built in 1991.) Compatible. Also recommended for use in the car, then the original CD is spared. At the latest after six months, I have to burn a new CD
