The product description is.....inconsistent. "CD-R 8x Certified is a top quality CD-R product which meets or exceeds the performance specifications to write at 2x through 32x speeds on qualified writers."....8X Certified, exceeds 32X speeds on qualified writers? Wonder which ones qualify. 🙂 The pic shows 24X spindle, but title says 32X....doh, I'm in need of new media too. Maybe I'll give in, but thanks for the post anyway, evergreen
