Digital Audio cd-r's (media for consumer digital audio-only cd-to-cd recorders) - what are they, and why are they more expensive?

There are basically two types of media - 'computer media' and 'consumer audio-only media'. Computer media are designed for computer cd recorders (and professional audio-only recorders). This is the vast majority of cd-r's being sold.

Consumer audio-only media are required if you have a stand alone (stereo component) audio-only cd recorder (like Philips, Teac, Harmon/Kardon, Pioneer, etc.). These are known as 'Digital Audio' cd-r's. Media for these recorders is available for purchase from the 'Digital Audio CD-R's & CD-RW's' category.

These consumer audio-only stand alone (stereo component) recorders require these special cd-r's that conform to the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), which is designed to stop a cd-r copy being made from anything other than the original cd. These media are slightly more expensive than computer media, with the main reason being that the manufacturer pays a royalty on consumer audio-only cd-r's to the RIAA, whereas with computer cd-r's, no royalty is ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
