Black CD-r's

[morticus]

hello everyone,
my question for tonight is what are the black cd-r's really for? and mainly, what is thier quality and compatibility with players and recorders? i ask because other then the music cd-rs..the black ones are the only cd-rs i can find with a tough top cover. i am sick of the top of my recorded cd's pealing up and flaking away.
thanks for your input in advance.

I think they're for games/PSX games, and are good for data also I believe - but normal CD-R's work perfectly for me.

are they compatible with a typical car audio cd player? i only like these for the top cover they have..its nice a thick so the foil layer won't peal up and flake away. does anyone have specific names of certain cd's that are high quality, high compatibility, and have a good top layer? are these black ones reliable

I've been using black CD-R's fo awhile just because I think they look cool. Though I have never had a problem with them for audio in my home CD player or my truck CD player.One of my Home CD players is a Magnavox that I bought in 1988 and my truck CD player was brand new in 1995.They even play in my JVC DVD player that is about 3 years old. The Cd-R's I have are Comp USA brand 80 min. and they work fine. So I can't imagine why anybody would have a problem with any other Black CD-R's on newer equipment.
