I have several packages of blank CDs. Some are CD-R and some are
CD-RW. ALSO I have some Music CD-R disks. The regular Rs are 80
minutes/700mb. Teh audio CD-R don't give the mbs but are 74 minutes.

What are the advantages to using the audio CD-R disks if any.

Thanks in advance for all the great help I'm gonna get. :-)

One of the basic advantages of CD R-W is that you can Re-Write over them
many, many times whereas with a CD-R, once it's 'burnt' that's it.......it's
forevever. Depending on what type of audio system you have, you may not be
able to play a CD-RW, whereas once you've finalized a CD-R, you should be
able to play it on your home audio system or automobile.....assuming you're
burning audio.

Good info, but not what the OP was asking about.

Audio CD-Rs are required when using a standalone CD recorder attached
to your stereo. It won't record on non-audio CD-Rs. These CD-Rs were
pricier than regular computer CDRs since there was a fee paid back to
the recording industry on their sale.

Your computer CD-RW can record on either regular OR audio CD-Rs.

For use on a PC none at all. They contain a code that enables their use
in one of the domestic CD recorders - this is then charged extra and the
money passed to the record companies by way of royalty

For burning Audio CDs to *play* in domestic or car players, use regular
CD-R - and I would prefer to use 74 minute ones, as 80 minute *might*
fall outside the ability of the player. Also domestic DVD players will
usually fail on a CD-R (CD and DVD wavelengths are different, and the
dyes used on CD-R are unsuitable at the DVD wavelength) but often will
accept audio CDs made using blank CD-RW disks
