Webtips from Our Friends
This Webtip comes from Trudy Husband:
What is the difference between a CD-R and a CD-RW disk?
"CD-R is short for CD-Recordable. Recordable CDs are WORM (Write Once, Read Multiple) media that work just like standard CDs. The advantage of CD-R over other types of optical media is that you can use the discs with a standard CD player. The disadvantage is that you can't reuse a disc."
"A related technology called CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) allows you to erase discs and reuse them, but the CD-RW media doesn't work in all players. CD-Rewritable drives are able to write both CD-R and CD-RW discs."
"All CD recorders can read CDs and CD-ROMs, just like a standard CD-ROM drive."
