This is absolutely false. If it were true you could just use data CDRs 
in a standalone CD recorder and not pay the extra $$ right? Well, you 
can't.

Music or Audio CDRs are watermarked and contain a flag that tells the 
standalone player that these are certified for use in that player. 
Typically, these discs use a better quality dye as well, resulting in 
better burns, especially at high speeds.

There certainly IS a difference between Audio and Data CDRs.

I've used verbatim blues with success many times. My advice as always 
is to stay far away from all things Memorex.
