There have been a number of postings recently suggesting that the sound of a CD-R is somehow inferior to that of a "proper" pressed CD. Flatly not true. Sound quality is identical.
    CD-Rs developed a bad reputation because there have been reports of poor longevity.I haven't seen any recent reports of this, though that doesn't mean there haven't been any. On t'other hand I own, and frequently play CD-Rs dating back a half-dozen years. No problems.
