| 172916 | 2003-09-04 02:51:00 | I got a question.There are cdr's out there and there are cd-r audio cds out there.What are the difference? I haven't heard a cd-r video cd before.Cd-r audio cds are more expensive than cd-r disc.Are there any difference in sound quality between cd-r audio and cd-r? |

| 172918 | 2003-09-04 03:06:00 | A CDRA is a blank audio CD for use only with Hi-Fi-style CD stereo with inbuilt writers, like the Philips CDR770 and CDR775. These are dearer because they have a built in royalty payment I believe. Rare to see these ones, as not many stereos were sold here with writers built in. Some CDR Audio are just a more reflective dye, so they will *theoretically* play better in stereos not designed for CD-R. This type don't carry the royalty premium and are not called CDRA, just CD-R for Audio Imation sell them and I have used them for data because they were on special a while back. |

Whats a royal payment? |

| 172921 | 2003-09-07 00:57:00 | The CD-R Audio discs are designed for better play in NON-PC optical drives, such as car stereos and some Hi-Fi CD players etc. The PC optical drives are more tolerant of varying types of optical media, which is why 9 out of 10 times a disc which may not read in your car stereo will read on your PC's CD-Drive. I have an Alpine stereo in my car and it takes ages to read some of my CD-R's (which work fine in my CD-Rom) or sometimes don't even play them at all. So I started buying CD-R Audio discs (TDK CDR-XA80), they work great and the only thing different is that I have to write my CD's at the lowest speed possible (that's because commercial stereos, especially older ones were not designed for discs written at high speeds (commercial audio CD's are written at an industry standard speed which is considerably slower than your modern CD-RW drive. So in short the CD-R audio discs are better suited for music, provided you use lower writing speeds (in your PC CD-Writer) if you are using a Hi-Fi CD writer it doesn't really matter but CD-R audio discs would give a bit more clarity and stability to your custom burnt CD's. That was a bit long winded but just a bit of info nonetheless :o Cheers chiefnz |
