Do you prefer CD-R or CD-RW for music? - eviltoast

For those who use CDs for music, which writable CD type do you use, and why?

Main differences:

  • CD-R can only be written once
  • CD-RW is more expensive

    Although they are supposed to be forever rewritable I could only ever get quality brand RWs to do 3 to 5 rewrites before burns would fail verification. Source: lots of data migration between servers where USB sticks and networking was restricted.

      i think a lot of it depended on your cd burner. i’ve had differing amounts of success with different burners.

      still though, the price was not 3-5x higher if i remember correctly
