Audio CDR Help

My mom just bought a cd burner deck to go with her home stero so she could copy her vinyls over to cd. It requires an 'audio cdr' to record music. Problem is these cost more money and are no fucking different from regular cdrs other than having an extra bit of data at the very begining of the cd. Is there any way to use my computer cd burner to conver a data cdr into an audio cdr and prevent the money grubbing music industry wankers from sucking extra money out of my family?

No. You might as well be trying to convert lead into gold; data CDs also have a prewritten segment, one that explicitly says that it is not an audio CD-R. You might be able to find a modchip or other hack on the unit itself to bypass the check, but if it's just a few CDs, that would likely cost more than it's worth.

Stupid Music Nazis. Well Audio CDRs aren't that much more expensive.

Does she have any kind of audio output capability with RCA connectors on the rear of the deck? If so, a quick run to Radio Shack and a couple of dollars later will solve this problem. Just get a cable with RCA connectors on one end, and a 3.5mm headphone connector on the other. Connect the headphone connector to your line-in port on your computer and then record the audio in your client of choice and save as a WAV file. Once you're done, open up your CD burning client of choice, select audio CD, drag and drop the WAV files over and burn.
