Using the Computer
You can use either CD-R or CD-RW discs to create
your CDs. You can write to a CD-R disc only once;
but you can write to, erase, rewrite to, and reuse a
CD-RW disc. It is recommended that you use a CD-R disc if
you are going to play it in a CD player, CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, or DVD+RW/+R drive. CD-R discs are
compatible with more players than are CD-RW
discs.
CD-RW discs are typically used for making data
backups of your personal CDs and computer hard
drive.
