RE: OT: Audio CD-R vs. Data CD-R
This is not the case. It depends on the CD player you are using. 'Gold'
CD-R
otherwise being refered to as 'Computer CDRs' will work in a cd
player/recorder that is not too old and feeble. The quality of the CDR is
also important.
However, for best results, use a blue-green 'Audio CD-R'. They cost more.
The compromise is silver cd-rs which are not so good for either type of
reading, but do both equally well.
I'd advise you to try more than one brand of cdr and see what works/is
cheapest/gives you the best results. There's definitely a difference.

well, there may not be any "inherent differences" but rest assured that a
CD-R WILL NOT work in a CD-AUDIO only recorder. i have just discovered
this the hard way - i am the audio production specialist for the university
of notre dame and i was told point blank by a salesman that the unit i
bought WOULD use normal cd-r's WRONG! so i now have to pay $1.50 more per
cd for this unit to work - which is a substantial loss to my line of
business.
