there is a difference between a CD-R and a CD... not directly the sound

than printed CD's, even faster when not stored right. Of course, this
also depends on the brand of CD-R you get: some are better than others.
So in the end, it may be cheaper to get the real CD instead of a burned
copy of it... as you have to renew the second one from time to time. Of
course, if you don't like the music anymore after a few years, then
there's no problem...

Another reason, and this is why I was sarcastic
with your first
post, Maluvia, is that there are still people who believe that a
printed cd sounds better than a cd-r or a flac file downloaded from
the Net.
It won't sound better, but there are other advantages to buying a real
CD (even if it's a CDR that the band's produced themselves) -- having
a nicely-printed case with liner notes, and having a physical artefact
that represents the music you've paid for.
