Verbatim Corporation has a new family of CD-R discs that are all fun! Called Digital Vinyl CD-R, the new discs look like old-time 45-rpm records but are really 700MB, 80-minute CD-R discs. Even though retro-looking, Digital Vinyl CD-R discs use a patented dark blue azo dye technology for excellent read/write performance and superior data fidelity when used with higher-speed CD recorders.

Digital Vinyl CD-R discs have been tested and certified by all of the leading drive manufacturers and Verbatim's special dual-protective reflective layer is said to provide longer archival life and protection from scratches on the recording layer that can damage or destroy critical data. Verbatim's DataLifePlus® CD-R media, which includes Digital Vinyl CD-R discs, is the only recordable CD media that includes this double protective layer as standard for enhanced protection against sunlight, high temperature, humidity and handling.
