Same in France, except that it is so high that CDs are ~10x the price of the ones in Germany (literally) so everyone is buying their CDs in Germany instead (or any other country, even the UK has cheaper CDs).

Is that blank recordable CDs or actual music CDs?

It's blank CDs and DVDs only, on this chart the tax is 35ct per CD and 1€ per DVD which seems about right.
