RE: arsclist Gold Audio CDR

["Copeland, Peter" <Peter.Copeland@xxxxx>]

Dear All,
    I regret Jerry does not seem to understand the situation here in Europe.
Most modern European "domestic" audio CD recorders refuse to record upon
blanks which have not had a copyright royalty paid when they were sold.
Therefore, gold Mitsui's (for example) cannot be recorded on them.
    The only narrow possibility is as follows. The first domestic CD
machines (sold a couple of years ago) could be fooled by the following
procedure. Load a copyright-paid CD in the drawer, and allow the machine to
read that the royalty has been paid. Then gently *pull the drawer open*, and
substitute an "ordinary" CD-R. Then push the drawer shut again.
    This allowed a "domestic" CD recorder to record on either type of CD-R
Audio blank.
    Hope this helps,
Peter Copeland

Why do you want them? "Audio" CDRs are required only for dedicated,
stand-alone consumer copiers. "Gold" is no guarantor of quality.
