I purchased a standalone CD recorder for the sole purpose
of capturing the audio from an extensive vinyl record
collection and transferring it to my computer. I play
the records on a nice turntable/preamp and save to CDR.
Then I go to my computer, rip the tracks, and compress
to MP3 format for archival and playback. That way I
can enjoy my music without wearing out my originals.

The price of the "audio CDR" media is eating my lunch,
and it really burns me since I own the original vinyl
and therefore have already paid my "RIAA Tax".

Is there some identifying data on these media that I
can pre-burn onto regular fifteen-cent CDRs, so that
my recorder will work with them?

thanks,

Martin
