where and how to find blank "music" CD's

Thanks for the feedback. I bought a small package of blank CD's for about $7 on amazon, but they are data CD's. I never knew there was a difference let alone how to tell the difference on Amazon or ebay. The way I learned there is a difference was reading the manual for the turntable.  I think the link provided by missti will do the trick. I just wanted a little help before I go spending more money. 

Blank CD discs are generic and there is no distinction between writing audio or data onto them. There are two types of writable blank CD discs, and your Teac is compatible with both:

• CD-R (CD Recordable) which can be burned permanently one time
• CD-RW (CD Rewritable) where the disc can be erased and rewritten

The laser mechanisms typically found in standard CD audio players can read CD-R discs more reliably than CD-RW discs. Therefore it is recommended that you use blank CD-R discs to burn audio CDs.

The RIAA flag that you mentioned would be written by a writer (such as your Teac) as part of the audio data, not something that is already on a blank disc.

Excellent advice.  Happy Listening!

THESE are what you want. I have thousands of these burned from my bootlegging days (Grateful Dead, ABB, Phish, and too many others). I can't remember the last time I encountered a bad disc.

I have a Phillips CD recorder, model 760. It will not record music on data CDs. The recorder will not recognize a data CD is in the tray as a “blank” CD. It even indicates in the trouble shooting section of the manual you have to use “music only” CDs. I tried, having bought data CDs by mistake. Amazon has plenty. I bought the recorder when it first came out and it has and still works flawlessly. The manual was printed in 1998. How these recorders are made today, i.e. if new ones can record to data CDs, I have no idea. Not sure if the player in my desktop will record music to data CDs. I always use music CDs there also.
