CD-RW jargon

[Amateur]

In CD-RW jargon,what is the difference in recording, re-writing, or burning a CD? What other equipment, besides CD-RW, would one use to do these things? Thanks.

CDr, CDrw, CDrom<br>CDr , burner, Same thing as writing, only its permenet, you cant write over it again(sometimes will let you keep adding it, but will only remain readable in the CDrw, until you &quot;close&quot; it to be readable to normal CDroms which sets it permenet)<br><br>CDrw, or CD rewriter, most CDrw can burn, and rewrite, a rewritable CD is good upto a thousand burns a sector, but usally more risk of loosing data off them, and sometimes not readable in anormal CDrom<br><br>CDrom, standard, reads all made CDs(or burned CDs)<br>if you just wana read CDs, then a CDrom is for you<br>if you wana make CDs readable by all Cdroms, get a Burner, or writer<br>if you wana be able to rewrite a local CD(not being distribited, and assuming you have use your CDrw all the time to read it), then a CDrw(rewriter) is for you, sometimes when you see 4x4x16, thats 4x write, 4x rewrite, 16X read<br><br>any more info needed? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
