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. bIz >>luca wrote: >> >>> CDRs (for computers) cost less than Audio CDs. >>> I have been told this difference ( in Italy it is about 1/2 U.s. $ ) >is a >>> sort of tax that is payed to majors or whatever because it is clear that >>> people uses the specific Audio Cd to duplicate music. > >Audio CD-R vs. Data CD-R > >I've seen this several times.

Check out http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/ > 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. traig Traig Foltz Audio Production Specialist University of Notre Dame Office of Information Technology Office: (219)631 - 3752 Fax: (219) 631 - 8777
