What is the difference between CD-R- (CD recordable) and CD-RW (CD rewritable)?
Although understanding technology is often enough to cause an irregular heartbeat without any exertion, this time it’s painless. CD-R discs are an “aim for the heart”; they’re a one-shot deal — no recording over the first recording. CD-RW discs have more malleable personalities. They allow you to record, erase and record again, but their altered encoding means they do not play in all CD players.
