Re: [microsound] CDRs vs. CDs with sugar on top

["pelagius pelagius" <pela_gius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's my (possibly flawed) understanding of the issue:
Some CDrs can have a higher error rate than a pressed CD.  The same data is 
still there but it may play back with more errors on a player with lesser 
error-correction.  If you have a good CD player or If you were to rip the 
tracks onto your computer there will essentially be no difference.  If you 
have a crappy CD player there may be an audible difference.  But if you have 
a crappy CD player will you really notice the difference given the rest of 
your system?

If you use good blanks and are careful about how you burn the CDs they will 
be fine.

Personally, I think that people who release CDrs shouldn't even label them 
as such.  They're still CDs, just call them that and don't worry about it.
