The levy is placed on all recordable media, not just music CD-R's. The difference between a data and a music CD-R is that a music CD-R has timecode embedded into it; it is intended for music production, not duplication. The extra cost for music CD-R's has more to do with market factors, like actual demand, than anything else. Music CD-R's aren't going anywhere as long as set-top recorders exist.
