Default What are 'audio' CD-Rs for?

TBH I doubt this is the case. I have never seen any measurements that
support the idea that - for example - the TDK XG *audio* CDR blanks are of
any better 'quality' than their XG *data* discs. So far as I have been able
to tell, the only difference is a few pence in price for the modulation
pattern that identified the 'audio' CDR. :-)

With other brands and 'white labels', though, who knows...

Slainte,

Jim
