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?

I have had three TASCAM CD-RW2000 CD recorders that I used in my live music recording business.  My recollection is that I could write a disc that could be copied an unlimited number of times or a disc that could only be copied once.  How that was accomplished was and still is a mystery to me.  I also believe that the "Music" discs that were available were connected to a scheme to pay artists in a round-about way for the unstoppable copying habits of the digital age !  Having been a professional musician for many years, the idea that your music was assumed to be available to others for free was not an easy concept to understand ---- and I STILL don't understand !
