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.
where and how to find blank "music" CD's
I recently came into possession of a TEAC LPR 400 turntable that can copy vinyl to CD. The problem is that apparently, I need RIAA (recording industry of America) approved music CD's and not the data CD's that are more common. The music CD's have a flag embedded in them that the manufacturer paid royalties to RIAA for lost revenue. Does anyone know where to get them, and/or how to tell the difference between the two if you are on ebay or similar site?
