NL5 is correct."Consumer" stand-alone audio CD recorders require special blanks. See section (5-12) for details. There is no difference in quality or composition between "data" blanks and "music" blanks, except for a flag that indicates which one it is. It's likely that "music" blanks are optimized for recording at 1x, since anything you record "live" is by definition recorded at 1x (though some dual-drive systems allow track copying at higher speeds). ...
The "music" blanks are more expensive than the "data" blanks because a portion of the price goes to the music industry. ...
David, I read somewhere, pcworld mag, or maybe pcmag, and they said at one time, 3cents per sold disc was supposed to go to the "music industry". This for lost revenue due to copying. I think they said it would go ti RIAA, and then be distributed to the "Major" labels. I'm not sure they even do this anyomre, as that was a few years back. And the trickle down was not even to smaller labels, just to people like Sony, Elektra, etc....DavidK said:I have a similiar thread to this in the Cave![]()

Can ANYONE explain how ANYONE in the "music industry" is getting a cut? I am in the "music industry", I dont see no steenkin money. I have asked well-known artists, record label CEOS, read a zillion websites and had a debate with a certified "record industry" guy who worked for a lot of bigtime labels. I dont see anybody getting one cent.
If anyone can help anwer this I will be extemely grateful. I will give you:
ONE GREEN REP POINT
Think about the fame, the money, the CHICKS that go with a REP POINT. You will be a sensation![]()

So, if you're a member of AFM or AFTRA, you can ask your union where your cut is. When they quit laughing, they might be able to shed some light on the subject for you.Two-thirds of the royalties go into the Sound Recording Fund and are distributed from that fund to the American Federation of Musicians (2-5.8 percent), the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (1-3.8 percent); 40 percent of the remaining royalties go to featured recording artists and 60 percent are distributed to music publishers.
The remaining third of the royalties are allocated to the Musical Works Fund and are distributed evenly between music publishers and songwriters. The percentages of distribution within each group of beneficiaries is determined by the groups themselves.
I'm pretty sure you are correct here. I remember a few years ago, when media prices were really dropping, that at that time, cd-r music was only around 10%, the rest was data. It's not hard to imagine, that the sales of cd-r music have not gone up. Probably only gone down.SouthSIDE Glen said:Another factor that nobody has brought up yet is that relatively few music CD blanks are actually sold these days. I don't have exact numbers, but as a percentage of total blank CD-Rs used for recording music, the amount of music CD-Rs recorded in dedicated music CD recorders has to be in the low single digits. There just isn't a whole lot of royalty money to distribute.
