CD-R Audio and CDR-Music
Disks labeled “CD-R Audio” or “CD-R Music” are different than “CD-R”, and are not recommended.
“CD-R Audio” or “CD-R Music” disks are required by certain types of stand-alone consumer audio CD-burners
which were commonly sold in the consumer channel, usually as part of home theater systems. Products that
require these disks are relatively rare in the marketplace today. Computers do not require these types of disks,
and using them can lead to read difficulties.

When burning disks for use in any professional DJ CD player, it is recommended to use disks simply labeled “CD-
R” for any computer-based burning, or with any burner that does not specifically require disks labeled “CD-R
Audio” or “CD-R Music”. Stand-alone burners which do require “CD-R Audio” or “CD-R Music” disks will create
disks which may have difficulty reading in some players.
In addition to the above, we always recommend using high quality media and slow burning speeds to minimize
error rates (which improves readability and longevity).
