Audio CD-R vs. Data CD-R

I've seen this several times.  I don't understand why there's a 
difference.  I
can understand that a particular manufacturer might recommend using only
particular branded CD-Rs for recording, but I think that has to do with the
combination of dyes in the CD-R and recording technology (laser freq, 
intensity,
etc).

I don't think there any inherent difference between an audio CD-R and a 
data
CD-R.  Check out http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/
