What is audio cdr?

[snakeballz]

Is audio cdr the same as regular cdr, except it is meant to be used to burn music ONLY? can it be burned by regular cd writers?

 

[LukFilm]

Yes, it can. Its main use is for recordable players in home system, not on computers.

Will audio cdr burned from my cdwriter on my computer burn better and sound better?

 

[JesusCow]

maybe im dumb, but i thought that was so they could charge a lot for AUDIO ONLY cdrs...

Audio cdr's will work ok in your pc. But they are made for the home burner system that's not a pc. Like those stand alone Philips units. The stand alone units can not burn regular cdr's. They are NOT worth the extra $$$ to buy.

NO! The only difference between an &quot;audio&quot; CDR and a &quot;data&quot; CDR is that a small royalty is paid to the music recording industry for each blank disc sold. A small bit of code is written to a part of the blank disc that can't be written to (by a burner) in order for stereo component CD recorders to verify that the royalty has been paid. A computer CDR drive just ignores that code.

They don't burn better or sound better. They just cost more.

Edited for clarity, I hope.
