wow. that WAS a fine article. A paraphrase, for the lazy....

"This would be a good time to clear up some of the mystery surrounding the term "Red Book." There is nothing special or magical about a so-called Red Book CD. A Red Book CD is an audio CD (CD-DA), period. When a software package claims to allow you to "burn Red Book audio CDs with precision," or that it is "fully compliant with Red Book specifications," that is merely a fancy way of saying that you can make an audio CD with it -- plain and simple! It doesn't mean anything more than that. It usually also means that you can independently set your own track IDs (sometimes referred to as PQ editing), but that's not necessarily the case. Because of marketing mumbo-jumbo like this, I've seen beginners needlessly confused into asking questions like "How do I convert an audio CD into Red Book format?" or "I have software that makes great audio CDs, but I'm not sure if it's Red Book compliant." Thanks to this article, you are now armed with the knowledge necessary to see through sales hype like this!"
