I was in the store the other day and noticed that they are now selling both CD+r and CD-r. Anyone know what the difference is? I know that DVD+r and DVD-r are different formats. Is that same true for CDs? Thanks.

are you sure you're not confusing it CD+r with CD-rw?

matta

Positive. I want to burn audio CDs and I was wondering if the CD+r is similar to the DVD+r in that it can only be played on a percentage of audio equipment.

cungar

Yes it can only be played on 100% of audio equipment.

CD+R? Wow...what store did you see this in specifically? Can you recall the brand name on what you saw? I'm very curious.

I did a Google search and checked CDFreaks.com for any information on "CD+R" format, and all I found was this, posted back in 2001:

http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/2877

CD+R Part II Volume 2, Multi-Speed version 1.1 October 2001 is released for distribution.This document defines discs with recording speeds up to 16x, 20x, 24x and 32x nominal CD speed. To allow for recording at such speeds a second OPC area is added.

In this new version of the CD-R standard, some fields in the ATIP have been renamed, and/or reserved anticipating an new Higher capacity CD-R standard (>80 minutes playing time) which will appear within some month.

Sounds interesting, but can't find anything about the format anywhere...

Hollowgen

ditto... that's why i was asking.


where did you see these?
