It depends:

For computer CD-Recorder drives: No. They are exactly the same. However, when you burn the CD you can choose to burn it as a music CD or as a data CD.

For stand alone CD-Recorders: Yes. Stand alone CD-Recorders will only record on a CD, that has its Digital Audio Music format. Stand alone CD-Recorders are very picky about which CDs you use. Stand alone CD-Recorders will not record on a data CD-R.

A blank Music CD-R is designed for stand alone CD-Recorders.

A blank data CD-R is more designed for computer CD-Recorders.

However a computer CD-Recorder can either record on a Music CD-R or a Data CD-R.

Nope - they're both exactly the same.

I do not agree. Some Stand alone CD recorders do not accept CDR formats for computers. Example: RCA CDRW120 has a Picky CD Reader - Only works with Maxell, TDK or FUJI Brand CDRs for "Music" only. You have to read the package carefully. Which caused major headache! Does not state this in manual. Tried many brands. Found the answer on-line BLOGS.
