CD-Rs or CD-RWs
MrX:
CD-RWs are better. you can write them 1000 times. CD-Rs only once. and they if you screw up, it's garbage. what a waste! buy 1000 CD-Rs for one CD-RW, which is only about the price of 4-6 CD-Rs ? That's what I thought. be smart, butter tart.

Seriously, did you just pull that number fresh from your ass? CD-Rs are infinitely cheaper than CD-RWs, and it has more to do with market dynamics than technological standards. What's a couple coasters to have a disc that runs on ANYTHING made in the past decade (whereas CD-RW makes no such guarantee)? ;)
solemnwarning:
You are wrong, isometimes use cd-rw:
if i burn a music cd-r i cant copy it to my xbox (illeagle disk apparently)
if i burn a music cd-rw it isnt checked for copy protection by xbox
Pathos:
CD-R, Most of the stuff I download I want to keep a permanent copy of.
Calum:
they use different technologies, up to a point. to me, cdrs are more (seemingly) stable and sensible, also i can get them to work. plus, why would you want to wipe a CD once you had used it? you're either doing a backup (which you won't want to wipe) or your copying something for somebody.
i've always used cdrs and haven't ever needed to use cdrws so, why should i change?
i will look into dvdrs too sometime, but again, don't see the point for me personally of using dvdrws if such a thing exists.
