Graham Not enough knowledge Graham to answer that, all I can tell you is that I have bought a Yamaha CDR-HD1500 Recorder which only accepts "Audio" disks. I find it a wonderful machine for recording music from all sources and it holds up to four hundred disks at any one time having a 160 gigabyte hard drive. The only problem is it won't accept any CDR blanks other than Audio. If you insert anything else it says it is not an Audio disk, does that help to answer your question? All my thanks, -- Derrick Fawsitt |

All my thanks, So it is 'Audio' CD-Rs you want then - not acetate discs for cutting LPs. Any HiFi or general electronics store should sell 'Audio' CD-Rs. Maybe there is a firmware hack out there somewhere to remove that constraint ? geoff |

In fact I was sold what were supposed to be Audio disks in error, (but were not), and when I inserted them in my Yamaha it did spit them out, it only said they were not Audio and set itself to 0. I wonder if I had gone ahead and tried to burn a recording on to them? Any expert advice on this would be greatly appreciated. As to buying them, I must ask you if you are in the UK and have tried recently, I cannot get them anywhere at a reasonable price. Yes, they are sold in some stores in small numbers at exorbitant prices and I am not going to go along with those stores. Regards, -- Derrick Fawsitt |

No, I am in New Zealand, a tiny insignificant little pair of islands on the other side of the world ! If you can get them here, then the UK shouldn't be a problem .... The exhorbitant prices are because: 1 - There is a 'copyright' surcharge (yes, this is totally nonsensical, we know....) 2 - The market for these disc is smaller. So basically you are stuck, unless you can hack the player to accept normal CD-Rs. The type, cost, and availability of media is homework that should have been done prior to your investment. geoff |
