Product Description:

STOP:  IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW HOW TO USE 90-MIN CD-R'S, OR AREN'T COMPUTER SAVVY TO UNDERSTAND THE INFO BELOW, PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE THESE!  YOU CAN'T USE 90-MIN CD-R JUST LIKE 'REGULAR' CD-R'S...it's a little more involved than that!  Read details in the product description (below).

90-Min (800MB) CD-R's:  Spin-X brand!  PRO-GRADE 24X CD-R Media.  Clear, non-logo, shiny-silver surface (90MIN in Hub).

For maximum compatibility, always make sure you're:

• using your recorder's latest firmware
• using compatible recording software (Windows Media Player cannot overburn, iTunes not supported)
• recording in disc-at-once mode

Burner must support overburn function.  If you don't already know how to use 90-min cd-r's, please e-mail for the PDF burning instructions.  

Important Note:  90 Minute Media will NOT be compatible with all cd recorders, cd players and cd-r recording software.  We strongly recommend ordering test samples.  Additionally, for higher success rates, we recommend recording at lower speeds. 

In order to avoid any problems, please read from our FAQ:

The 90-Min CD-R only shows as 80-Min CD-R. What's wrong?
All CD-R's contain tracks formed from a single spiral, starting at the inner diameter up to the outer diameter, and along which data is recorded using a laser beam. In a standard 80-Min (700 MB) CD-R the distance between successive tracks is 1.5μm. In 90-Min CD-R's, this distance, called track pitch, has been reduced to 1.33μm, allowing an increase in capacity of approximately 100 MB.  90-Min CD-R's have a capacity of 800 MB or more, depending on recorder specifications.  However, since a 90-Min CD-R's capacity is beyond the standard CD-R specifications, any software will only show the disc as being 80-Min (before recording) and Windows Explorer will only show the disc as being 96.6MB - this is normal!

Additionally, in order to be sure that you received the correct Spin-X 90-Min cd-r media, check the clear hub, center of the disc, and you'll see "90MIN" is printed there in black text (as shown in the above detail picture).

In order to use 90-Min CD-R's, compatible software, like Nero Essentials, and a compatible burner are needed. 

To write 90-Min CD-R's, your burner needs to support overburning - this is the term used to identify the process in which your recorder and software can exceed the standard CD-R recording length specifications.  In your recording software, there will be an options section where you will need to enable disc-at-once cd overburning (disc-at-once recording is required for recording using 90-Min CD-R).  For example, check in the options->expert features section of Nero Essentials.  Additionally, you can perform an overburning test with Nero CD-DVD Speed, which is part of the Nero Toolkit, and available for free.  By trial-and-error testing, this software will help determine the exact length and maximum recording speed to which your recorder can burn the 90-Min CD-R.

Your recorder's firmware controls the maximum allowed speed.  90-Min CD-R media is rated at 24X record speed.  However, since the track pitch of a 90-Min CD-R has been reduced, and the margin for error is greatly reduced, it is strongly recommended to record at slower speeds.
