Is there any difference in these discs between between CD-R and CD-RW. Hoping that because it says "Audio" it will work on my TEAC recorder.

Hi! These are in fact different than CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs are meant to be rewritten. Some burners require an audio specific type of disc like these. These are produced by Sony and while they work in a wide range of units and burners I wouldn't be able to say with 100% certainty they will work in every single one out there.Thanks!

The main difference between CD-R and CD-RW is that: -R or "recordable" allows you to write/burn your data/music only once. It can't be changed after is it recorded. The -RW or "rewriteable" allows you to use the discs again after writing/burning something on it, similar to a VHS or audio cassette tape. Also, these discs will work on your TEAC recorder. If there's ever a question as to which CDs work with your device, you can always check the manual. If you don't have one, most times you can download it from the company's website. Hope that helps.

Dear Susan E. I am no audio technician. However I bought my TEAC model RW-CD22 recorder from Costco about ten years ago and it is still going strong. On both the playback and record CD slide inputs there is an imprint similar to those on the Audio CDs which says " compact disc digital audio recordable". These are CD-R Music CDs and are the only ones I can record on. Just plain CD-R and CD-RW will not record on my unit. If I put in one of these the recorder displays "no disc" instead of the number of minutes to be recorded on the disc. I have been told that regular CD-R or CD-RW (which is re-recordable) can be used for music from other sources but I don't know for sure. Hope this helps. Jack Dear Susan E. I am no audio technician.

This disc can only be recorded on a professional recorder (such as those made by Marantz). Home audio recorders will not record to this disc. All computer CD-R drives are professional recorders so they will record to this disc.

Hello Starr, I'm not sure however I have copied all types of cd's and dvd's. My favorite has been Memorex DVD-R. Perfect copy quality.

Hi Amy,My sincere apology!! I spoke incorrectly- I gave you a response intended for the USB Voice Recorder. Correction: The SANOXY USB External CD DVD RW does burn DVDs. Actually, it has been a very handy device- I wish it came with a carrying case. Enjoy!

Not sure, I have a different brand recorder. If you're looking only for music cd-rw discs these are the only brand I know of that's still out there, you might want to try one to see if it works. Otherwise try Memorex music cd-r.

I'm sorry for your trouble but you must hit menu and formate disk before an RW can be recorded on, but I wouldn't count on it. I have a DR420 and a 430 and its been some time sence mine would formate my -RW disk and I have 6 left. Also I was recording "Play Misty For Me" on Encore Suspence and they stopped the DVD recording and I put in a tape in my VCR and hit record and the tape ejected. I know Dish Network and these movie channels are reprogramming these units to prevent recording, I've operated a VCR service center for 35 years and they are overiding the system programming.

Mine is working fine with discs made on my new computer but I have had trouble in the past not with the TEAC but with the CD player in my car. Not all CD burners work the same.

I have never used this product to record CDs. My use has been exclusively with DVDs.

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

Nope. This is a tape to tape unit. Ideal for dubbing. TEAC (and various other manufacturers) do offer tape to CD/DVD devices though.

I haven't used a Toshiba DVD recorder before but have been using other brands for several years now and just wanted to chime in on the R vs RW issue. I record a LOT of TV for family that chooses to not carry any actual TV channels. They only watch what I record for them. Pretty quickly, I decided to pay the extra to get RW DVDs because that made sense. It turned out to not make so much sense, at least in my experience. I can only re-record on them 5, maybe 6 times, before the start glitching out so badly that they're unwatchable. Some have gone glitchy in less recordings. At the prices I find, it's actually cheaper for me to use the non-rewritable discs. I've had 3 different DVD recorders that all the same problem so it's not brand specific. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there. Glad you got your machine working and are enjoying it. :-)

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....

I only tried it on Music CD-R then downloaded to my Mac without any trouble. It made recordings just the way the unit played them and I was satisfied with them. But the unit stopped making CD's while on number 45 and it wouldn't eject the last one. So I returned it and got a refund. The unit is very cheaply made and I have about 800 records and cassettes to convert. I don't think you can get 50 CD's made before it would fail. I did request a replacement but they quit carrying it for a while and refunded my money. Now they are stocking it again with a sizable price increase. If you get one I would use it a lot quickly and if it goes bad Amazon return policy is very good. i would like to have another one if I knew the quality was better but it doesn't seem like things are made to last anymore. I hope your question was answered and good luck on your decision.

ONLY Sony MUSIC CD's (with the purple label) will work on my stand-alone Audio CD Recorders (made by Phillips, Teac, Kenwood, Crosley, [non-computer based]) as they have a bluish-green tint and have a special encoding to tell the recorder that they have they have paid a 'royalty fee' to record music. Standard CD's and many bogus Imation/Maxell/Verbatum/Memorex "Music CD's" do NOT have the proper encoding anymore to work in these stand-alone Audio CD recorders. So be careful with what you choose. Purple wrapper Sony's are the ONLY brand that work in my (non-computer-based) Music CD recorders anymore.

I have an old Phillips CDR 775, in addition to my TASCAM 9000SL.These work fine on both of them. The CD-RWs are rewriteable; the CR-Rs are not, but they both work.No matter what kind you get (CR-R or CD-RW), make SURE they both say "Music" on them. (They are different than Data CDs.)

Yes!!! I have a Philips CDR 950 standalone recorder (AWESOME...will take it to my grave) and they work flawlessly with it. Sorry I didnt see this question sooner. I havent tried other brands of CDRW but these TDKs work great so stock up!!!

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.
