A music cd has a flag on it that indicates that royalties have been paid to the music industry. Many standalone cd burners require that flag. If you only burn music on a computer it is not needed and you should just get a regular cd.

"Consumer" stand-alone audio CD recorders require special blanks. There is no difference in quality or composition between "data" blanks and "music" blanks, except for a flag that indicates which one it is. It's likely that "music" blanks are optimized for recording at 1x, since anything you record "live" is by definition recorded at 1x (though some dual-drive systems allow track copying at higher speeds).
You don't have to use "music" blanks to record music on a computer or on a "professional" stand-alone audio CD recorder. Nothing will prevent you from doing so, but there's no advantage to it.
The "music" blanks are more expensive than the "data" blanks because a portion of the price goes to the music industry. The specifics vary from country to country. In the USA, the money goes to the RIAA, which distributes it to artists who have navigated through a complicated application process.
Some manufacturers have on occasion marked low-quality data discs as being "for music", on the assumption that small errors will go unnoticed. Make sure that, if you need the special blanks, you're getting the right thing.

they're technically the comparable element. once you write (burn) a CD, the approach that the utility use to shop the suggestion to the CD is different. song CD is playable on a classic CD participant that does no longer contain a decoder (eg. MP3 decoder). the dimensions of the storage is set by how long the musics are. universal CD can shop musics around 60 minutes. documents CD is greater ordinary in case you utilize it with a working laptop or pc. documents CD has documents saved on it (a.ok.a. records) the suggestion may be song records consisting of MP3, RM, MOV which may be performed on a working laptop or pc and a popular CD participant. universal CD can shop documents around six hundred megabytes.

Music CD-R's will be playable on various standalone CD players, Hi-Fi system, discmans etc whilst other CD-R's that are not labeled as being a music CD-R might not play well. So if you are burning music use MUSIC CD-R discs to ensure maximum quality and playability on the consumer Hi-Fi systems.

on a regular cd-r, you have a choice to burn audio, data or highMat audio files on it. with a music cd-r, only audio files will burn correctly
