What is the difference between a “data” CD-R / CD-RW and a “music” or “audio” CD-R / CD-RW?
Nothing. The composition of the disc is basically the same. Consumer stand-alone CD recorders require “music” or “audio” CD-Rs for recording. These special discs contain a flag or marker within the discs designating them as such. Consumer recorders also employ copy protection to prevent users from making copies of copies. “Music” and “audio” CD-Rs also cost more than “data” CD-Rs because a portion of the price goes to the music industry. Less expensive standard “data” CD-Rs will not work in these units.

What CD-Rs do you recommend? The PSD300 and PSD340 are compatible with the inexpensive “data” CD-Rs found at most electronics retailers. They are also compatible with “audio only” CD-Rs, too. The PSD300 and PSD340 are real-time recorders (1x speed) and work best with blank discs that are rated at 1x speed. With the a
