What is the difference between Audio and Data CD-Rs?
The CD-Rs that say For Music Use Only are meant to be used with the consumer stand-alone audio CD recorders from your local superstore. They cost a little more than data CD-Rs because a portion of that cost goes to the record industry. These disc also have copy protection pre-written to them to discourage duplication. Data discs are written with a computer burner, not a consumer audio CD recorder. They are duplicatable and you can record audio or data to these discs. In the professional world, data CD-Rs are preferred over music only discs.
