The same CD quality issues apply to CDs as DVDs but for most people's use quality doesn't matter.
See: http://www.cdrfaq.org/
and

But I try to always buy higher quality media because one doesn't know when burning exactly where or if quality/ longevity will matter down the road.

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 ?"
