CD-R means you can only write/record files to a CD/DVD one time. CD-RW means you can write/record files to a CD/DVD and then re-write new files or delete old files from the said CD-RW. CD-RW hold less than CD-R's and they tend to get buggy the more times you add/edit/delete/re-write over them. Also if you are lets say burning music to a CD to play in your car or something some CD-RW's are not really compatible with standard car stereos.

How do you earse songs from a CD?

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.
