The ones marked for "Audio" have a special track prewritten to them to let audio CD burners know they are "Audio" CDs. Physically, they are the same as data CDs. This track is used to keep audio CD burners from using data CDs. Why? So the music industry can make an extra buck off of you. Notice the "Audio" CDs are more expensive than data CDs. That extra price is the music industry tax. Unless your burner requires Audio CDs, don't bother buying them. You are only paying the music industry money for the right to use that CD. Buy the cheaper Data CDs. The eMac (and all other computer CD burners) do NOT need the Audio CD version, they all work with Data CDs. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
