what is the difference between CD ROM and CD-R? Is there any difference in recording method?

CD ROMs can only be read and not changed at all. CD-Rs can have information burned into them.

CD-R is a blank, recordable cd that holds up to 700mb. It is NOT rewritable\n\nCD-RW is the same as a CD-R, but it can be rewritten.\n\nDVD-R is a format of DVD, sometimes more compatible with older DVD players.  It holds 4.7gb (~4700mb).  There is also a rewritable version of this named DVD-RW\n\n\nDVD+R is another format of DVD, it can also hold 4.7gb.  There are rewritable versions of this that are DVD+RW.\n\nDVD-DL is another DVD format in which there are two layers.  This doubles the capacity of the DVD so it can hold 8.5 gb (~8500mb).  These are newer and more expensive in the consumer market; however, almost all of the DVD movies you have in your home are printed on DVD-DL.\n\nI hope I helped!

CD-R IS A disc that you write to until it is full or till you have all you want on it... then you can close it so it cannot be written to again...You are unable to delete and write over the sections on the disc... so once it is filled you are done and can only read the disc.... the CD-RW is more like your hard drive... you can write to it... you can delete files... you can use it over and over again...\nThe CD-R is used for mostly to do music files ... or backup data records that you want a permanent copy of... or pictures that you want to keep... where the CD-RW is normally for things you want to save for a limited time and do not want to waste a CD-R for.....

Well, the obvious advantage is capacity. A DVD will hold much more on one disk than a CD.\n\nDisadvantages I can think of to using a DVD is that it may burn slower than a CD depending on your drive. It is also more expensive depending on the brand. Also, pretty much all computers have CD drives, but not all have DVD drives, so a CD is more compatible.\n\nBottom line, if a CD has all the capacity you need, that is probably the best choice. If you need to hold more data on each disk, go with DVD.

What mcgradypimp101 said was correct.  Sound recorder will allow you to record audio files in the .wav format.  It comes with XP home so you have nothing else to buy or download to record audio files.  With sound recorder, you can record .wav files directly to an audio cd without needing to convert the file type.  Most newer cd players these days can play .wav files without any problem.  \n\nIf you really want to cram a lot of audio files to one cd, you may want to consider converting the .wav files to either mp3 or .wma format. (using a free program like this:  http://www.mp3-converter.com/cdda_xtractor.htm )  When you compare how much space the file types take up on a 750 mb cd, you will be able to store many more mp3s & and wma files than .wav files.  It's all personal preference though and would also depend on how you plan to listen to them later.  Keep in mind that if you want to maximize the numbers of audio files on each cd, using the mp3 or wma format, that you will pretty much be forced to listen to your cd again on a computer.  That is unless you have a really new stereo system that recognizes these file formats.  Hope that answers your question.

Different DVD formats for recording and playing. Generally, the + seems a better choice. \n\nDual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL (dual layer — see figure) was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL (double layer — see figure) was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Sony.\n\nA Dual Layer disc differs from its usual DVD counterpart by employing a second physical layer within the disc itself; how the drive with Dual Layer capability accesses the second layer is that it could shine the laser through the first semi-transparent layer -- This is something that normal DVD recordable discs do not have. The layer change mechanism in some DVD players can show a noticeable pause, as long as two seconds by some accounts. More than a few viewers have worried that their dual layer discs were damaged or defective.\n\nDVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with some existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.[citation needed] Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remains significantly more expensive.\n\nJust how compatible is the DVD+R/+RW format?\nThe most comprehensive independent research performed by Intellikey Labs found that DVD+R is compatible with over 95% of current DVD players and drives, which makes it the most compatible of all recordable DVD formats. Furthermore, a DVD+RW video recorder is based on the normal DVD-Video specifications, hence it is very unlikely that need to buy a new player with dedicated playback functionality or compatibility logos to play your discs. Even the edits you make on your DVD+RW discs are DVD-Video compatible.

Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per side, compared to 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Philips.\n\nDVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with most existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remains significantly more expensive. Currently the technology has severe problems with compatibility in DVD players. Dual Layer Drives will work with Regular DVD-R drives.

CD-R's can only be written onto, and sometimes added to but once its on there it stays.  Many CD players can play CD-R's.  \nHowever, only a few can play CD-RW, which are "rewritable" CD's.  They can be erased and rewritten - which is nice only if the CD players you usually listen to can play them.\n\nIf you only listen to music on your computer, CD-RW is the way to go.  If not, I would suggest CD-R's.  They're cheap enough and can be played in most CD players.

The limitation has nothing to do with software capabilities, but rather the CD's limitations - no software in the world will get you around it.\n\nHave to add though, if you knew how to adjust you r hardware, then yes it is possible. The first home CD recording (and this had a lot to do with the release of cd-r's) was actually created by a teenager by complete accident.\n\nThe story goes that he had disassebled the families CD player to see how it worked, and end up rushing the reassembly when finding out the parents were on the way home. Next time the CD was played, have a guess who's voice appeared on the disc!\n\nMind you, the family and he got sued by both Sony and Sanyo (the owners of the patent) - so it may not be worth making the mods even if you COULD figure it out

You can not save to a normal CD Rom.  You need a CD-RW drive and and CD-R or CD-RW media.

DVD means 'Digitally Versatile Device'. It holds more capacity than a CD. A CD can hold 650MB to 700MB of data whereas a DVD can store upto 9GB of data depending on its type. Dual layered DVDs can hold more.\nDVD picture quality is better, and many of DVDs have Dolby Digital or DTS sound, which is much closer to the sound you experience in a movie theater.\nMany DVD movies have an on-screen index, where the creator of the DVD has labeled many of the significant parts of the movie, sometimes with a picture. With your remote, if you select the part of the movie you want to view, the DVD player will take you right to that part, with no need to rewind or fast-forward.\nDVD players are compatible with audio CDs.\nSome DVD movies have both the letterbox format, which fits wide-screen TVs, and the standard TV size format, so you can choose which way you want to watch the movie. \nDVD movies may have several soundtracks on them, and they may provide subtitles in different languages. Foreign movies may give you the choice between the version dubbed into your language, or the original soundtrack with subtitles in your language. \n\nThe Emprex drive that you have is capable of writing to blank CDs as well as blank DVDs. The discs that you can write to are CD-R, CD-RW, DVD R, and DVD RWs.\nHere is a link to simplify what I've said.\nhttp://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#4.3\nJust look at the table at the bottom.\n\nAlternatively you also maybe facing an issue with the writing software. Try another one like Nero or DVD maker.\nCheck if the Disc is empty.

I have been able to convert cassettes to CD simply by using a jack in headphone output to 'mic in', or 'line in' computer input and recording into Roxio Media Creators' Sound Studio.\nYou will need disc space though!  I have recorded individual songs into .wav files, which then are recordable to CD's. The funny thing is that the only cassette device I could hook up is a walkman type- and the result is amazingly clear from the portable device- depending on cassette recording quality. you may need some cable converters(RCA type to stereo 1/8", or 1/4 inch headphone to 1/8")....

PC - In my experience the best software is Nero.  But your computer probably already came with something like Roxio.\n\nAnyway, as far as +/-.... I prefer the MINUS.  In my experience a greater number of DVD Players accept the minus discs (especially the older ones).  If you are just archiving data... there's probably no noticeable difference.

What about the recording software? Does it show you how much space is left on the CD? \n\nMaybe there have been files recorded to the CD and later got deleted. \nIf you delete files from a CD then the space those files occupied stays lost.  \nYou would need to have a CD-RW and would have to format the CD-RW to create new recording space on there to put new stuff on the CD-RW.
