I want to know if there's much difference between the normal Cd-rs, and the specially made for audio recording (Music Cd-r).


I want to know if they are really better.

If they are really worht the extra money


Thank You.

music cd-r= you pay the RIAA

In my experience, 10 cent CD-Rs are as good as 1$ CD-Rs...........

Sony Cdrs ftw.

I wont buy the cheap ones anymore.. they die quicker.

die?

some of the cheapest cd-rs i've used can't really hold their cue points that well. i've never bought the audio ones though and have no idea why they're so expensive. now i always go for some blank white ones, which aren't the cheapest ones, but not the most expensive ones either. before that i used to use TDK and never ever had any problems with them. if the packaging has "GRADE AAA+" on it, then it's probably good (from my experience at least).

Yes die. Would you believe that most blank disks expensive or not last five years max? Here's an article about that:

Edit: After more research it turns out my above statements are false. Cd's can last 25-100 years if taken well care of. Sorry on my behalf.

I don't really believe that...

I have a bunch of CD-Rs from around 1998 or 1999 or so that work perfectly.

To answer the posted question, I actually find that the audio cd-rs work WORSE. I believe they're made for the stereo equipment cd-burners...or something, I'm not sure, but I've gotten two 50 packs of them and as a rule, they're worse. I'd get the non-audio ones.
