</div>Minus is a much older standard. Plus has some advantages in terms of speed and error recovery, but it wasn't standardized until about 5 year later (2002 I think) so fewer things support it.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, that means that most devices that can do Plus can also do Minus -- I would guess the device you have that does Plus media will also do Minus media, so with the right disk you should be able to make something that works in both systems.<br>
