that's a really immature reaction on your part- basically what you're
saying is, you had no idea that a DVDR could be used to record only
music in AC-3 compressed format, and ends up sounding pretty damn good,
and is far easier to control and use with the remote via a TV screen-
with a higher sampling freq 48/16, than a CD-R
hey, whatever, dude...
