all those rumors......

however, I did some recording jobs on both: CDR and CD-RW and I couldn�t find out any differences.

Both recording methods worked fine without and hearable loss of audio quality.

Maybe you can find out any differences when you examine these recordings in a audio laboratory.

CD-RW can't be played on a regular home cd-player, unless you close the session but then you won't be able to re-record it again. So for that purpose use a CD-R.

I own a Philips 3610 CD-RW, and I use CD-RW for backup purposes and CD-R for audio.

But beware... I haven't found a program yet that can record directly on a CD-R, without recording it as a .wav on harddrive first! That sucks.......

I believe the CD-RW media is more volatile, meaning that it won't last as long as a CD-R, which won't last as long as a pressed CD.

Clear as mud?

Geordy, I've got a Philips CDD3610 too, I don't have to record audio to wav first! I can copy CD's at 2x speed no probs using Easy CD Creator.

CDRW are ridiculous for audio recording because you can only play them in CD-ROMS regardlesS!

Rouge,
what I mean is that you can't directly record an analogue source to CD-R, like a synth or sampler. It has to be a CD. And your cd-rom player has to support Digital Audio Extracion (DAE). If you don't have a DAE supported cd-rom, you'll have to prerecord your cd's as well... Mine doesn't support DAE, but hey, what does a cd-rom drive costs nowadays :-)

And according to Philips, a CD-RW lasts at least 30 years. You can record a thousend times on one. CD-RW discs coming out next year ar good for a fine 10000 times!

Last, you CAN record to a CD-RW and listen to them in your audio cd-player, but you'll have to close the session. But that will be nonsense to do, because you can't rewrite anymore.

So, for audio, use a CD-R instead.

BTW my Philips costs around 350 dollars (in Holland)
