There are actually some Audio CD Writer's (i dont know if they still do it
with the newer ones) that only will write to Audio CD's. So they actually
are a bit diffrent. I remember back then when they released the home
stereo audio cd recorder that people figured out hack's on how to use
regular cd-r's instead of the more expensive audio CD's. A friend of mine
had to pop in a Audio CD, then open the door manually and then pop in
a regular cd'r. That's how he tricked his writer for a while.
