Wrong. Where did I state that the Audio Discs would work *only* in a 
Stand Alone recorder? I said nothing of the sort.

Here is my original post:

"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."

Show me where I state that "Music" CDRs can *only* be used in a 
standalone recorder. Once again, Kunga made a false statement, i 
corrected him. Then you tried to claim that what I said was "not 
exactly correct" when in fact it was entirely correct.

In fact, *YOU* made an erroneous statement when you claimed:

Which is incorrect as I pointed out already. Computer CD-R/Ws will use 
a "licensed" CDR just fine, contrary to your incorrect assumption.

That's 3 times now you've claimed I said something I didn't, I'd 
suggest you read things a little more carefully from this point forward.

Wonderful. However that means exactly squat to people living in the 
U.S, which is the majority of this list.

And incidentally, ALL CDRs marked as "Music" here in the U.S. are of 
the licensed variety. I am in the U.S. and so is Kunga, so what I said 
applies. In your zeal to
