i hope its bad discs they were marantz discs they, used to be a quality brand but maybe not any more?
Marantz discs???? Never seen those. You sure you don't mean Memorex?
Nor me. Hey i've had Memorex go bad too!
To be honest my main use for CD's was backing up photos sadly I've found discs unreadable after only a few months in storage....dry dark away from heat sources so stored correctly.Luckily they were only backups of my hard drive stored photos. I now use portable hard drives and Flickr for backups.
so too with music files they are stored on multiple hard drives. I might burn the odd CD for use in the car but as I said in my earlier post I regard them as disposable and not for long term use. Having said that I do have some that still play OK a few years since burning them, but also many more that have gone bad, all recognised brands.
Were memorex really that good or was it advertising 'is it live or is it memorex?' Must admit in the tape days I preferred TDK Super Avelyn but that's going back quite a while now and another story!
I wonder if the OP could try his recorded discs on another player to test them out?
