So, do you own one?

CD-R and CD-RW

Well, form the title itself, this post is all about the difference between the two.
CD-R stands for Writable Compact Disc, you could burn audio, video, and even .wav, .wmv files in here *depends on the disc*. But the problem is it could not be re-written again. It is write-protected and script blocked.
The CD-RW is the re-writable version of the CD-R but the problem is, when you play audio files using this, the player cannot support the said files. You could delete files from this disc. This is more compatible with a DVD player than an ordinary audio player.

Tips on Burning:
Always use 16x compatible/ composition of the disc speed rate.
Even the disc offers great speed performance, 16x is more compatible and safe especially to audio files.
Also, remember to keep your time limit to *blue*, if it exceeds even a slight one, a file-stack may occur. A playing and re-playing of files may happen.

-Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading!
