I get very confused by the Cd-RW....rewritable, unrewritable and all that other jargon. I just would like to know what sort of CD is most suitable for storing photos on....thanks.

They are correct. I recomend using a HIGH QUALITY CD-R, like Sony,Fuji, etc. You'll wind up getting what you pay for, and sometimes the "no name" brands won't read correctly!
Good Luck!

A Rewritable Cd

Any CD, the only difference is that rewriteble CD-RW is the one u can burn it over and over, and the unrewritable CD ROM is the one u just can burn once, but any of them is great for music, photos, videos or anything u like

CD-RW= you can erase the cd's content & re-record over them, CD-R=you can't. But I'm waiting for some master cd that will keep playing after 4 yrs. Some of my old burned cds play like crap or not at all..

A CD-R is used to store information one time and then you can't change your mind and use it for something else. A CD-RW can be used many times. If you want to store precious memories I would imagine a good quality CD-R that has a reputation for longevity would suit your needs.

For basic storage, get yourself a high quality CD-R. Doesn't need to be CD-RW unless you are planning to add to the CD, or replacing/renaming/changing pictures already on the CD.

Just use a CD-R, this way you can write to it alot faster but once you burn it, you cannot erase it and re-use it. CD-RW (CD Rewritable) is slower in burning but you can write and re-write as many times as you wish.
Good Luck!

get a DVD+/-RW drive, those are nowadays not more expensive than a simple CD burner. the advantage is you can read and burn all known media like CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW and even DVD dual layer DVD+/-R DL. one reliable CD & DVD burner is the NEC ND-3550A for just $30.

in laymans term for the media is valid
+/-R: writeable only once
+/-RW: writeable many times (it's said up to 1000 times but i doubt this, assume it's something between 50 and 100).

In my opinion, CD-RW's are the best becuase you can store, copy, modify, move, delete etc. With CD-R's, once you've burned, you're done. Go with CD-RW's, trust me.

DVD-r: they are good for burning DVDs
CD-r: they are good for burning Cd's
rewritable: you can delete previous songs and burn new ones
unrewritable: you can download songs and cant change them
really easy. just stick to basic DVD-r and CD-r!
r stands for ROM so they are just CD Roms and DVD Roms!
i would use DVD Roms if you want to make a DVD of memories. but if you just want to store photos so they don't clog computer memory, i would use a floppy disc. they can be found anywhere and are really cheap!
