Hi Andy, Usually when you buy blank cds they are unformatted. If you want cds formatted specifically for audio you usually have to ask for them. I think these cds are for folk who have these stand alone cd read/writers which can only take pre-formatted cds.
Somewhere on your menus there'll be a choice either to create a data or audio cd, there might be a choice to create a mixed cd. When you launch your cd burning software, have a thorough look around the menus and mouse around a bit.
