Ok, so I pop a CD into my new CDR-HD1300 to burn a copy of the Sarah McLachlan stuff so I can listen to it on the road...and it says it's 'Not Audio'. Bummer. It won't accept any of my CDR ('cause none of them are 'music' CDR's). :(

What exactly is the difference with a 'music' CDR? And, more importantly, where can I find them?! I've searched BB's, CC's, and CompUSA's website, and haven't found anything that says it's a 'music' CDR.

Thanks!!

    any CD-R will let you burn music onto it... have you used that brand or CD-R's before? But yout got a new CD burner, and now it won't burn a CD-R? Very odd. try a different brand of CD-R's i guess.

    I've always used Verbatim CDR's, and they always work in everything, 100% of the time. BUT, everything I've read says that the CDR-HD1300 requires you to use a 'Music CDR'. I do believe I've seen them referred to around here before, but I've never actually had any experience with them before.

    you could be right.. but just seems weird that you'd have to use specific "music" CDR's just because your burner says it uses them. but anything is possible these days.

    I'm pretty sure the only difference is 'music' ones share royalty $$ with riaa (note the "Each audio disc records up to 80 minutes of music or stores up to 700MB of data"). I'm guessing the CD company is just encouraging you to share your wealth with the music industry.

    What software are you using to burn? 'Audio' cd's do have to be burned differently than data cd's, but the software can even convert mp3's in to audio (wav?) files for normal cd players.

    Dead on... as part of the whole CD licensing thing, any gear that ONLY does music CDs (vs data& music) has to use "Music" CDs that give a kickback to the RIAA. They cost a little more.

    Thanks for the links. I guess I did a really poor job of looking through their site.

    That makes sense, giving some money back to RIAA. I'm *wanting* to burn CD's using my Yamaha CDR-HD1300; so, I'm not using my computer or any other software here.

    Thanks everyone for you input! I guess I'll go out to town to buy some audio CDR's, then. Man, I really really really need to get a job.
