In the past I have read several post's about what CD to use to record music. I am a subsriber to Kim and here is her answer.
--> DON'T WORRY ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF CD'S
Jeanette in Tucson asked about the different types of CDs. She's
concerned about music, photo and data CDs.

Jeanette, you don't need to worry about different types, at least for
making CDs on a computer. To your computer, data is data. A regular CD
blank will accept music, data and photo files. It doesn't care.

If you're copying a CD on a home stereo system, you may need a special
music CD. These look for an indicator on the original CD before they
will copy it. That was part of an agreement in Congress to be sure
artists, record companies and others were compensated when CDs were
copied. They cost more, and that's where the extra cost goes.

There are no such indicators on computer files. So don't worry about
buying anything special. However, I would buy name brands. I have had
problems with cheapo no-name discs.
