Using cheap CD-R disc on Audio recorder

Right. The cheapest CD-Rs are computer only. They have a Compact Disk Recordable logo but they are not designed for music. I can record and play back music on them on my computers CD burner but few audio CD players will play them and almost no DVD players will. My Harmon Kardon burner will not recognize them either to record or to play. The next up are the music CDRs which will work on the music burners. But again almost no DVD player will recognize them, but most CD players will. It's not the brand that's the issue, its the type of cdr. Music or data. The data CD-Rs are going for around $0.40 each and the music for about twice that. Still cheap.

Ok. I have the Harmon Cardon burner. It will not burn CDRs that don't have the audio CD logo. You are correct about CD players. Most players will play CDRs. My concern was with DVD players. Most will not play CDRs. Yes a few do but I haven't found a Sony or Tosiba for instance that will.
