CD-Recordable) A writable CD technology using a type of compact disc that can be recorded, but not erased (CD-Rs are "write once" discs). CD-R discs are used to master CD-ROMs, to back up data and to make copies of data for distribution. "Burning" a CD-R requires a CD-R drive, CD-RW drive or a combo CD/DVD drive. CD-R discs can be read on most every type of CD drive, including older CD-ROM units.

In practice, the term "CD" refers to all CD formats. The phrase "burn a CD" really means "burn a CD-R."

A CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is a variation of the Compact Disc invented by Philips and Sony. CD-R is a Write Once, Read Many (WORM) optical medium (though the whole disk does not have to be entirely written in the same session) and retains a high level of compatibility with standard CD readers (unlike CD-RW which can be rewritten but has much lower compatibility and the discs are considerably more expensive).

CD-R(Compact Disc Recordable)are blank CDs that can record data written by a CD burner.The data burned onto a CD-R disc is permanent, meaning it can not be altered or erased like the data on a hard drive. Typically, once a CD has been burned, it will not be able to record any more data. Some CD burning programs can record data as "sessions," allowing a disc to be written to multiple times until it is full.

CD-Recordable (CD-R) is an optical disc drive that enables the user to create customized CD-ROM discs. Data that has been written to a CD-R disc cannot be changed (overwritten). CD-R discs can be read by any CD-ROM drive. CD-R drives are commonly used to create backup copies of program or data files, or to create duplicates of existing compact discs.

Stands for "Compact Disc Recordable." CD-R discs are blank CDs that can record data written by a CD burner. The word "recordable" is used because CD-Rs are often used to record audio, which can be played back by most CD players. However, many other kinds of data can also be written to a CD-R, so the discs are also referred to as "writable CDs."
