Conclusion: Don't use on DVDs
Review: These labels are great for CDs, but don't use on DVDs. I collect old LP vinyl records and transcript them to CDs for my personal use. The labels are easy to apply. I used the labels on my personal travel DVDs made from videos and that made the DVDs unplayable. If you look on the package, you will see in fine print "Not recommended for DVDs". I wasted lots of labels and DVDs before discovering this. I was able to remove the labels by soaking the DVDs in hot water, scraping, and then using mineral spirits to remove the glue. Takes lots of time and patience. I repeat: Don't use on DVDs! Memorex should remove "DVD" from its product label. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Memorex CD/DVD White Labels Worthless
Review: These labels can end up destroying your cd or dvd player, weight shifting causing wabble, and glue comes off into your player and on your disk making them unplayable. You have to use 90% alcohol to get the glue off your disk, and warm the disk with a hair dryer to peel the labels off. The extra weight can burn up your player sooner or later. Need to find a light weight vinyl without the glue problems. Anybody know of any? Evaluation:
Conclusion: Beware of DVDs that don't work
Review: I have had a significant problem with these labels on DVDs. Several months after application of the label my DVDs didn't work on any of my DVD players. I finally discovered that removing the labels from the DVDs restored performance. Soaking the DVDs in water helped remove the labels. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Memorex Labels Peel Off After 1-2 Weeks
Review: I've purchased Memorex brand labels 2-3 times in the past. Almost without exception, I've found that these labels tend to begin peeling off the CD after 1-2 weeks. Although the NEATO brand labels cost twice as much, they are of much higher quality and do not peel off as easily. I have NEATO labels on CDs that are over 2 years old with no signs of peeling.

Conclusion: Looking For A Good Deal?
Review: For the price, these labels are a GREAT deal! I have used up the 100 I have perchased and I'm about to order more. The only problem that you may have with these labels is that the paper is very thin and that anything dark which is on the CD face will show through. If you have written on the CD face with a permanent ink marker, remove it with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. This will remove all or most of ink so that it will not show through. If the CD face has dark printing on it from the manufacturer, then you're up the creek or you'll have to print a dark colored label to try and cover it. --- All things considered, these labels are good and cheep. If you screwup on printing a label you won't feel too bad throwing it away.
