RW stands for ReWritable. With a CD-R you can't put anything on it more than once. You add songs to it once and that's it. It is how it is, you can't do anything else with it. You can reuse a CD-RW. Say I had a song on there, but it messed up. I can either find it in my computer and delete the song and then put the right one on it. Or i can add the right one along with the wrong one.

∙ 15y agoA CD-R (Compact Disc - Read) is designed to be written to one time and the data be stored permanently (in some cases, the data can be erased, but the CD becomes worthless).
A CD-RW (Compact Disc - Read/Write) can be erased and written to multiple times (much like the old cassette or VHS tapes. They can be erased and rewritten multiple times).

∙ 12y agoA CD-ROM is of couse a portable way of storing info. A CD-rw or CD- rewriteable is anothe way is storing portable info. The difference is small but completely changes the meanings of both. A rewritable disc can have the data erased and replaced by something else. Also CD-rw's ususally cost a little more. So if your using a CD to carry a PowerPoint presentation, you can use a CD-ROM, but if you are trying to keep a CD withe all the lastes hits and you only have on CD, use a CD-rw.

∙ 12y agoCD-ROM is a type of compact disc reader/writer used by your computer. The CD-R is a compact disc that is only readable. In other words, you can only write to the disk once unless using a live disc format; however, the discs are only designed to be written to once. CD-RW is a disc that a CD-ROM may write and delete files from. DVD-RW is a DVD that a CD-ROM may write and delete files from.

There are several kinds of CDs. Stamped (store bought) CD that come with data on them, are not writable, or erasable. They are manufactured with the data already on them. CDR discs can be written with a computer drive, but in general, they cannot be erased. They can be damaged where they can't be read back though. CDRW discs can be written to and then erased and re-written. You need software on the computer to do that though. Look into Nero burning ROM. It's a very good program for doing what you want here, assuming you are using CDRW discs.
