"music quality discs" ???
Dale are you refering to the "Music" or sometimes called "Audio" discs? Put out by memorex, maxell, sony and others?
Dale, i have used these "type" of discs for 15 years. I am not sure if you are aware what these discs actually are. The term "music quality" kinda threw me off. The word "music" on these discs does not refer to their quality, rather it refers to their format, or intended use.

Years ago, Philips created the home cd recorder. These were units that looked like a dual drawer cd player except they could record cd's from cassettes, cd's, and other audio sources. These machines were produced by philips, later, JVC, Sony, Harmon Kardon and a couple of other companies. Of course to make yet another buck off the consumer, they made their own disc format to work with just these machines. Much like the companies did for DVD. The home recorder "music" or sometimes also called "audio" disc will work also on a computer, but not the other way around.

I never found these disc superior to the "data" computer discs we all use today. These "Music" or "Audio" format disc are rather expensive if memory serves me right. I am surprised these things are still available. The "music" or "audio" home recorders aren't around much anymore.

I still have one, and have owned several throughout the years, although i seldom use it anymore. Glad to hear they are working out so well for you. I think i still have a stack of these somewhere around my studio, i will dig them out, and give them a try. Thanks for this information. George

Here are a photo of my old Philips recorder, and my Harmon Kardon recorder.
