[X4U] CD : Digital Audio cd same as CD for data?

[Frank Isackson]

The quality standards for data media are higher than those for music.  
If a microsecond of music were missing your ear wouldn't notice; a  
microsecond of data could a catastrophic loss. Similar logic is at  
work in the hard disks in iPODs. They are not as fault-free in  
recording music as their brethren produced for data storage.

I have had some verification failures in the music media when used  
for data. I've never had that experience with data media. I recommend  
that if the music ones are cheaper use them for music only.
