So CD-R Audio media is meant to prevent copying a copy....

So let me get this straight, standalone CD burners, such as one in a stereo shelf system, are designed to only recognize CD-R Audio media. The only difference between CD-R Audio media and a "data" CD-R is that the Audio CD-R's have a pre-burned portion that identify them as CD-R Audio. Does that mean that a standalone CD burner will not copy FROM a CD-R Audio, as to force the public to only copy from an original "master" CD (i.e. people can't make a copy of the new Celine Dion, then pass the copy to a friend who will in turn make a copy of the copy). This would be similar to how the minidisc format prevents people from doing direct, digital copying from MD to MD. Am I right about this?
