Use a CD-R disc if you are going to play the disc in a CD player, CD-ROM,
CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or DVD+RW/+R drive. CD-R discs are compatible with
more players than CD-RW discs are.

creating a music cd
RecordNow! creates closed session music CDs, which means you must record all
music files on one CD in one recording session. Music files can be recorded
repeatedly on a rewriteable CD-RW disc, but all previously recorded files must
be erased first. CD-R discs cannot be erased. See “getting started with
recordnow!” on page 56.
NOTE: CD-R discs play in most home and car stereos. CD-RW discs play only in
some stereos.
