I looked at the techtarget.com site and although it goes more into the technology it says much the same as my Sony Manual does to quote:- "When you buy a CD-R or CD-RW please note you must buy an AUDIO CD-R. A CD-R DESIGNED FOR COMPUTER USE WILL NOT WORK IN THIS UNIT." Two types of logo are shown one AUDIO CD-R(compact disc digital audio) and the other AUDIO CD-RW(compact disc digital audio reWritable) It then explains how to use them, where, and why some are not compatible with CD players.

To answer your question Bill - at our Club we like to produce our own CDs. These are recorded to a CD-RW first, simply because a few days later when played back, what we thought was our great 'masterpiece' sounds absolute rubbish so using a rewritable allows us to delete and re-do single tracks wherever it is on the CD-RW. When we are happy with our efforts, we finalize and copy to a CD-R (one for each member) which can then be played on any CD Player.

This is what our club is about, learning, playing and having fun - a sort of workshop if you like.

You might like to know, I called in Staples today and they have plenty of both types selling under their own label. They also clearly state music BUT, I have to say I've seen that before on a label which turned out to be for computer music tracks only, so are completely useless to those people who do not use a computer.

Anyway, thanks everyone to your comments and suggestions, they are much appreciated.
