[BC] Court rejects RIAA's 'making available' piracy argument

[Tom]

Interesting; Like I said - My CD-R burner in my computer copies music to 
CDs just fine - AS music CDs; I've generated music CDs from recorded 
.wav files onto data CDs - and my two Sony multi-players are happy 
playing them, as are my two portable CD players. So... while YMMV, as I 
said - only a standalone CD Recorder actually NEEDS a "music" CD... usually

The drives I use are a Memorex (in my Gateway I use for production) and 
the Lite-On - which is actually a DVD burner - which I use in THIS 
machine, primarily to back up / archive files.... but I have burned .cda 
music CDs with it.

Having said that - I have hit issues with CD-RWs not playing .cda 
recordings in some players... but the same burner, with the disk copied 
to a regular CD-R; the CD-R plays fine in the player that won't always 
play CD-RWs
