Rewritable CDs Supported Too

Depending on your recording needs, the slightly more expensive rewritable (CD–RW) format may be appealing to you. I did notice that the recording speed was slightly slower than with CD–discs, but it is nice to simply erase and reuse the media instead of tossing it into the trash when it's no longer relevant.
But be careful about using CD–RW media if you don't know the target machine. Generally, CD–RWs play in CD–ROM drives. Some CD drives have difficulty reading CD–RW discs. When you want to erase a CD–RW disc, insert it into your recorder drive and click Erase the CD–RW in the task bar.
If you want to make some adjustments to Windows XP's default settings for recording options, navigate to a folder showing the drive of your CD recorder. Right–click it, click Properties, and then click the Recording tab. There are four options you can change here, including the staging drive it should use, and the default recording speed to use. The default speed is Fastest, which means the fastest speed supported by your drive.
