Okay, here's the answer to your question:
Do notbuy the "audio cdrs" meant for standalone cdr recorders that look like typical home stereo components.
They require the "audio cdrs" that are 2-4x the price of "regular" cdrs.
The reason? The music industry assumes that you will be pirating music so they overcharge you to make sure that they make money off of you. Standalone recorders need to read the special information on the ATIP of these "audio cdrs" otherwise they won't burn. They will not burn "regular" cdrs meant for computer burners because they lack the ATIP that would satisfy the copy protection of standalone home recorders.
This is why when you are looking around for cdrs ... for example at
www.cdrecordable.com .. you will see two different descriptions. The majority are regular cdrs for computer-based burners and you will then find ones that are specific to standalone home recorders which are the same cdr except for the ATIP info and which you much buy in order to burn on the standalones.
Hope you got that circular, repetive explanation! Good luck.
