Are CD-R and CD-RW interchangeable?
I have made both music disks and a few data disks using CD-R and CD-RW respectively. The software I am using is Nero.
I note that CD-R burns much faster (eg., 20x or 12x, etc, whereas the data only burns to CD-RW at best at 4x, (and now I tend to get failures unless I use only 2x.)
My questions are : would data be burnable to a CD-R, and would it burn at the faster speeds? Would CD-R provide more secure storage of the contents than CD-RW? And its a bit cheaper too.
Thanks anyone
