Mr.T spake thus:

Audio CD recorders are very easy to use and plug into your stereo system
like another tape recorder. Only downside is you have to buy the AUDIO
only CD-Rs. They are only marginally more expensive but somewhat harder
to find.

What? Where do you get that from?

In fact, if anything, audio CDs (specifically, CD-DA) are *more*
tolerant of errors than data CDs, since they don't include the same ECC
stuff in each frame. Audio CDs typically contain many (digital) errors
that are corrected (usually by the drive hardware and firmware). Any
kind of CD will work just fine.

Just curious where you picked up this bit of urban folklore.

Obviously you don't understand the disk requirements of many consumer stand
alone CD recorders, and he does.
It has nothing to do with CDROM Vs CD-DA data streams, (which is totally
irrelevant if you are making a music CD anyway, since you are NOT burning a
CDROM format in either case, if you wish to play it on a CD player!)
It has everything to do with copy protection systems and royalty payments.

So tell me, MrT, what does that have to do with the type of CD-R one
uses to burn? I recognize that there are protection schemes and all
that; probably better than you do, since I used to work for a company
whose primary business was CD duplication equipment. It doesn't matter
what kind of *media* you use.
