It is my belief that there is no difference at all between a "music" CD
and a "data" CD except the price. There is a royalty paid to ASCAP for
each music CD sold because the intent is to store music on the CD that
has a royalty attached.
Whereas DVDs, in my experience, differ greatly in quality according to
the brand, I have found no difference in recording quality of CDs for
each brand. However, some CDs are vulnerable to physical damage on the
side opposite to the playing side and should be avoided if you are
archiving.

A friend recently posed the following question. Since I know nothing
about this subject, I'm hoping for an answer from some of our forum
"geeks" and "guru's." - TIA!
Question: Blank (writeable) CDs can be purchased either as DATA, AUDIO
or (plain Jane) recordables. I'm in the process of transcribing my
vinyl record collection onto CDs, and I discovered that one set of the
blank CDs that I purchased is labeled "DATA".
So the question is 'What happens if I write an audio content to these
purported "data" CDs ?"
