CD-Recordable (CD-Rs) are write once, which means that you can only write to them one time CD-Rewritables (CD-RWs) can usually be written to more than once

CD-R media can be read in most CD-Rom drives and most Audio CD players manufactured after 1998, because that's when most of the standards were set into place

CD-RW media is usually only good in your machine It isn't a good choice for audio, because it will not usually play in most Audio CD players.

Hope this was of help to you.
