Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After
creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic
documentation for more information). Use a blank CD-RW if you plan to
erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
Blank DVD+/-R media can be used to permanently store large amounts of
information. After you create a DVD+/-R, you may not be able to write to
that disc again if the disc is finalized or closed during the final stage of the
disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RW media if you plan to erase,
rewrite, or update information on that disc later.

Helpful Tips
• Use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos.
CD-RWs do not play in most home or car stereos.
• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that
have MP3 software installed.
