Compact Disc Re-WritableIt describes a Compact Disc that contain materials within it capable not only of recording data burned onto it by a laser but also (with the application of a stronger laser) having that information erased so that the disc can be rewritten.

CD-RW discs can usually only be used properly in optical drives that specify that they can read (and usually write) that type of disc.
