Is there any quality difference between these and ones branded as "music" cdr's such as these http://amzn.com/B0002ZDIKW if I'm just burning audio?

As long as your are using a computer to do your burning, there is no difference. There used to be a stereo cd copier that was like a home stereo that you copied cds in. THAT machine required Music branded cd-r. Those machines are almost extinct.

I use music CD-Rs to record. But I have also used CD-Rs. Believe music CD-Rs give you a better quality to sound.

Yes on a computer. No if used in a CD recorder that is part of an audio system...in this case you will need "music CDR".

I assume they are if your CD player has a headphone jack. They are basically standard headphones that can be used anywhere an audio jack is available.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this.For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

Yes. Some Cdr's that do not have music on them will not play in certain players. If you are burning music you need to have music cdr's. I hope this helps you!

These are simply bog-standard CD-R disks, albeit of a supposedly high quality (meaning few if any dud disks, which has proved true for me, which is why I buy them). So if your Tascam will record to any CD-Rs (check the specs of your recorder), they'll do more than fine with these. It is possible that the recorder requires CDs that are specifically coded for audio recording (read more about that here: http://goo.gl/jGtWnS), so definitely check, unless you've already made it work with other plain-old CD-R disks.

Yes! But I know this not because of this past buying. I never got the "CD"'s. In the past they were very good but now Sony has stopped making them and some people are selling regular "CD"'s, putting them in marked cases of "MUSIC" when they are not music cd's. Be careful!

Greetings, yes this disc will handle just about any type of audio file. Not sure about the audio recorder, but if it's a CDR then you should be fine.The quality is much better than the no name store blank cdr, as of this date we have found none to be defective. Hope this answers your question and help in choosing. I ordered these when they where on sale....

Mr. Moore, the advice seems to make no sense. Isn't a "Digital Audio" disc a CD? DVD for video and CD for music, speeches, etc. I have burned hundreds of Sony DVDs over the years and not one has let me down. Be sure and use the format, DVD- or DVD+, that your recorder burns. In my experience DVD- discs will work for the vast majority of recorders, but yours might require DVD+ discs. Paul

Yes sir. I've been using them for over 2 years at my church to record sermons and music. I've never had a problem with even one disc.

These do work in my Marantz CDR630 recorder which is generally very selective when reading discs. These are the only discs over 74 minutes that aren't routinely rejected in the optical check.

I have two of them. They are different brands, but the same player exactly. Neither on has worked as advertised. One stopped working after about 3 hrs of use and the second one is very slow use to copy. However, I mainly used them to copy CD's not DVD's

I mostly use HDTracks, but there are ay least a couple of others, including a new one called something like ProStudios that I have yet to try. I stick to 96/24 and on this player they sound great! Yes, they are more expensive, but I usually wait for a sale, 10 - 15% off, and the usual price for popular music is around 18 bucks, before discount. If you want to burn these to disc, you have to use a program, at least as far as I know, that burns them to DVD. I think that program is called Cirlinca HD - Audio Ultra. Have fun!

Lawrence/Melton, thanks for the info! I am thinking about .atrac for nostalgic reasons. Some years down the road, when Sony folds and ATRAC becomes public domain, perhaps ATRAC files will be more playable.. ;) But looks like PCM/WAV is the way to go, as someone else mentioned that I will be transcoding the audio if I save it as ATRAC3+. So I will probably just do PCM and convert it to FLAC for archival and playback. The CDs will be for giving to my relatives so they can play it on any CD player. Not as a storage/archival medium. That'll be on my RAID harddrive. I am picturing another scenario. After all these work (and $$$ to buy the MZ-M200) to upload a pristine copy of the recording to my computer, and put the MD away for storage in my attic/craw space, something happens and I lose the copy on my raided HD, the copy on my RAID NAS, the copy on my offline HD, and the copy on my offsite storage, and I am back to square one, bidding on an MZ-R200 from ebay (as I've probably sold mine), paying dearly, to do this all over again. ;) Well, of course this won't happen, as I can probably still hunt down the copy I gave to my relative, but the thoughts have occurred to me. ;) In the end, I think the MD would've cost me more than if I had purchased a professional DAT player in the first place. There are so much that can be said about why MD failed and how utterly stupid Sony is, I am not going to say anything other than Steve Jobs is the best answer to Sony's paranoia about copy protection. Protected a few pennies, but missed out on billions.

if you want to burn cdrs in a stand-alone cd recorder, you need to use "music" cdrs, not "data" cdrs. This doesnt refer to the files that you're burning, it's the word that's in the product name (ie Maxell Music cdrs). Both types can be burned in a computer, but only "music" cdrs are used with stand-alones. You can still find them (usually in smaller stacks).

I'd say regular cd-rs, I've not heard of music only cds. I'm using Ridata 52x. Cannot answer your 2nd question
