NBC: Difference between CD-Rs for Text and Music

[Steve Hoffman]

Re: the "flag"  . . . .  Music burned on a NON-"Music" CD-R will still
PLAY on any consumer CD player, right?  The flag only comes into play if
you attempt to copy FROM a CD-R, and in that case, some CD recorders
will not copy TO a NON-"Music" CD?  Or will not copy FROM a NON-"Music" CD?
