I got a Sony CD recorder device to do copying
of old reel-to-reel tapes. This unit has two trays,
one of which is the recorder tray. It will not work
with data CD-R blanks, I had to get the ones
marked "digital audio" (Imation's will work). Any
of my data CD-R blanks show "invalid disc
format", or some similar message, when I try
to load them into the recorder tray..

I guess there must be ways to put audio on a data
CD, but my SOny won't play nicely for me in
this manner.
