Hi,

Is there a hack or anything that let's me use non Audio CDR's (i.e.
standard blank CDR's) on my Sony RCD-W1? Google search turned up
nothing so I'm not holding out much hope...

Thanks,
Jamezgb

Just try recording a track and play it. On my lo-fi setup can't tell the
dif between audio and crap blanks.

On a lot of CDRs, that's not the issue. A proper audio blank has a digital
watermark manufactured in, that says that some monetry duty or other has
been paid as part of the purchase price. Something to do with recording
copyright. Some recorders look for that watermark - notably Philips ones -
and if it's not found, the recorder won't accept the disc as valid media.
I
guess that's what the poster is asking about. I've never seen any hack to
get around this.

That's the issue alright. Spookily enough I was in Morrissons doing
the weekly shopping and they are doing BOGOF on Audio CDR's so I
managed to get 20 for £6 which isn't bad for these sort of discs.

Yes, that is a good price. A friend of mine once bought a ' new second hand
' Philips recorder from a guy that had them stacked up on a stall at a radio
/ computer rally. They all had fault tickets on them that said much the same
thing - " plays but no record ". Having payed his 10 quid, he went away a
happy bunny, found another stall selling media, and bought a bunch of
audio-marked blank discs. This was how I first found out about this, and
it's amazing how many people it catches out ...
