I guess this refers to the refusal of oldfashioned audio CD recorders to write CD media which are not specially marked for such use. It is said to be only a small piece of pre-recorded information and is not related to any special physical property of the media. The german nick name "GEMA Bit" refers to an institution which collects in-advance copy fees from sellers of recorders and blank music media. If you use a normal CD recorder for computers and not a fancy living room audio device, then there should be no technical need to use the expensice CD media for audio recording. Depending on local laws, it might be somewhat more legal if you put copyrighted music on the expensive ones. Gene Cumm wrote: > I believe it's primarily a burner compatibility issue.

This is supposed to be a separate issue. When the 12x CD burners came up, the old "1x-2x" media did not work with them. Vice versa the old "1x" to "4x" burners could not use the new "4x-12x" media. DVD writers usually burn "4x-12x" CD-RW at 10x and 8x. They ignore orders to use other speeds. Newer DVD writers refuse on "2x-4x" CD-RW.
