| 95411 | 2002-11-03 04:32:00 | Graham L beat me to it. There are two things being argued here - data format and physical CD properties. The audio data on an ordinary CDR that is encoded as audio (ie make an audio CD not a data CD) is the same as the audio data on and audio CDR. The difference between the two discs is in their physical properties. Audio CDRs are made such that there reflective surface is more reflective so that older CD players can read them since CDRs are less reflective than the normal audio CDs you buy in the shop for which older CD drives were made for. If your stereo plays the regular CDRs then there is no sense in forking out extra for audio CDRs unless you plan on using them in other CD players which may not read them. The data format issue is entirley different. If I wanted to I could burn data files like word documents onto a audio CDR and my PC would read them fine, but my stereo wouldn't (they are data files!). Conversely if I burn audio data onto a regular CDR, my stereo (if new enough) will read it fine (It does and I bought it in 2000). There is a difference between audio data and regular data, but this is not why audio CDRs and regular CDRs are labelled differently. G P |

| 95412 | 2002-11-05 08:05:00 | Just curious, I thought that the only difference was the "flag" on the audio cds that the stand-alone audio writers need to use,but apart from that,dyes,etc were the same? www.cdrfaq.org azza |

| 95413 | 2002-11-05 23:34:00 | I thought a CD-R is a CD-R is a CD-R. It's probably just a marketing gimmick to get the user to part with a bit more money. For the record, I use Tricky Dicky's $1 CD-Rs to record to and they play extremely well in a Pioneer (2001), Rockford Fosgate (2002), Blaupunkt (late 90's), Yukai DVD (2001), Sharp (1988), and every CD-Rom/DVD-Rom drive here (5 ranging from 1986 8-speed to 2000 DVD-Rom). |
