...That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though, as they're much more expensive than damned old common CD-Rs.

All of that notwithstanding, my major point was, "Sony Music CDs", weren't simply a marketing ploy, attaching a different name to a standard CD-R. They had a specific application..

The specifically labeled 'audio' ones were more expensive because the RIAA had a hand in them. The audio ones were sold with an extra fee built into the price because it was assumed you were going to burn pirated music to them.
