well, there may not be any "inherent differences" but rest assured that a
CD-R WILL NOT work in a CD-AUDIO only recorder. i have just discovered
this the hard way - i am the audio production specialist for the university
of notre dame and i was told point blank by a salesman that the unit i
bought WOULD use normal cd-r's WRONG! so i now have to pay $1.50 more per
cd for this unit to work - which is a substantial loss to my line of
business.
