What is a CD-RW?
A compact disc that is rewriteable is commonly referred to as a CD-RW. CD-RW is a compact disc (CD) format that allows repeated recording on a disc. Prior to the rlease of the CD-RW, CDs had been read-only audio, to be played in CD players, and multimedia (CD-ROM), to be played in computers’ CD-ROM drives. Now, any user with a CD recorder drive can create their own CDs from their desktop computers. CD-RW drives can write both CD-R and CD-RW discs and can read any type of CD.
