In my testing the discs performed flawlessly. They are compatible
for music recording at speeds of 16x, 12x, 8x, 4x, and 1x. The CDs have
a double layer of ant-scratch coating. They also use Verbatim’s
patented Super Azo technology which adds extra protection against UV
sunlight, high temperatures and humidity. This is all proposed to add longevity to the discs. While I could not test the longevity, Verbatim backs the Digital Vinyl CDs with a lifetime warranty.
While the discs are color-coded to represent different types of
music, I would like to see a place that I could label the exact
contents rather than having to put that information on the jewel case.
Other than that, I loved the idea, the look, and the quality.
This is one combination of the new and the old that must definitely be referred to as “groovy”.
