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?

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:
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. |
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. |
