CD-r burns on the bottom of the disk, where a CD+R burns on the top.  There is really no difference in terms of use.

They are exactly the same. Music cd-rs are a scam.  They cost more because the music industry gets a cut of the profit.

CD: Compact Disc, which us like a cassette but can hold alot more song and you can use it on your computer as well as car, dvd player and cd player.\n\nVCD: Video Compact Disc and basically it's a CD that contains moving pictures and sound, so songs plus videos.\n\nDVD: Digital Versatile Disk. (Formerly Digital Video Disk.) Same size as a CD but stores seven times CD capacity on a single side. DVDs can also be double-sided or dual layer. Today most DVDs are used to display full-length commercial motion pictures, plus additional material such as outtakes, director's notes, movie trailers, etc.\n\nI don't know what ACD is but i'm guessing another format like CD or DVD, hope that helped!\n~Ruj x

Actually, it stands for Compact Disc - Recordable.\n\nThere is currently no possible way to erase the data from a cd-r using your cd-r/rw drive.  You will need to purchase cd-rw if you want to be able to record, erase, and rewrite data to the disc.

CD RW has functions like USB. THat means you can add and replace data on the disk, which CD R cannot do. \nCD RW is convenient when you need to write temporary data, that need to be changed several times before publishing. That means you don't have to buy a stack of CD R to write each time you make a change to your data on the disk. Instead you just need one CDRW.

CDR -  can only be used once\nCDRW - can be used over and over again\nDVD - can be used once (but saves MANY more images)\nDVDRW - can be used over and over

How about if it's CD-R. Beyond that I don't know.

The R's mean that you can write data only once, and from begining to end. That basically means that if you want to write data again on the cd, you will have to reformat it, which means that u will have to erase all the stuff on it first.\n\nThe Rw's mean that you can burn a disc, then go back and add or insert data in it without acutally having to delete evrything on their previously\n\nthe + and - symbols indicate the type of formatting, the most common supported form is the '-' symbol, however many programs (including microsoft, apple, nullsoft, and megapixis) support the '+' formatting. In all honestly the formatiing shouldnt even matter, as most if not companies try to support as many as possible.

The  +/- sign is for the Dvd writer.If it displays both  signs it takes both plus and minus dvd's and cd's\nRW means re-writeable disc it will say either+format or -.on the disc

diff is that dvd-r and dvd+r are formats.. and it's a battle between the two. whoever wins.. right now dvd-r is winning.

-r & +r are 2 different standards (read, ways) of burning DVDs in a dvd writer.\n\n-r/+r burns read only discs that can only be written to once, as opposed to +/-RW which allows you to wipe the discs and start again.\n\nRead the attached article at wikipedia for more info!\n\nHope this helps..

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.

Yes, a CD Writer (also called CD-RW) can Read from CD's and Write to CD's. However, a CD Reader (also called CD-R) can only Read from CD's. RW = Read/Write, R = Read. This works just like a DVD-R (only reads DVD's) and a DVD-RW (reads AND writes).\n\nIf you only want a CD-R or a CD-RW. It's definitely better to have a CD-RW. Doesn't hurt you and you have the ability to burn (write) to CD's.\n\nThe alternative is that you can have BOTH a CD-R and a CD-RW in your computer at one time. Then, you can copy "on-the-fly". This means that while your CD-R is reading, your CD-RW can be burning/writing at the same time. This makes copying cd's extremely fast and efficient.
