[Dixielandjazz] Re: Vinyl to CD--Audio CD vs. CD-R

[Dan Augustine]

Don and others--
     To record on a stand-alone audio CD-recorder (like the Philips), 
you must only use CDs that specifically say "Audio CD" (either CD-R 
or CR-RW).  Computer CDs won't work.
     For example, Maxell sells blank CDs ONLY for audio recording that 
say on each one:
             "CD-R Music 80 for audio recording" and "compact disc 
digital audio recording".
If you try to use regular computer CD-Rs or CD-RWs, they won't work. 
You have to look closely at the labeling.  I don't see the audio CDs 
for sale very many places any more (i used to get them at Tower 
Records, which folded here).
