I believe there is a difference in the way the media is actually manufactured but does anyone know the specifics. This media is used in stereo equipment CD burners not computer burners. Here is a link to look at the differences.

Music discs are needed if you have a burner in your home stereo unit, they will only take Audio CD-R or Audio CD-RW a computer burned will take either one.

The music discs have a code burnt into them that is picked up by the stereo burner and it allows their use.

The discs are the same disc except for the code, and the extra cost is funneled back to the music companies, supposedly to help make up for all they are loosing because of us burning our own cds.


here is a link to a good cd faq page.

I didn't know that.

 

Dave,

thanks for the info. I actually looked through that site but somehow missed that information.

Thx again.

 

That cowbell thing is a riot, I remember the episode, but forget the name of the song until i hear it on the radio, and i just start laughing, the people around me give me stranger looks than usual. Was it a rainbow tune? I remember Dio's name being brought up it the sketch, I think.
