If you download music from the net then put it on a CD, can you add more to that CD later or totally erase it? Or do you always have to use a new CD?

If your cd is labeled CD-RW you can erase it and re-use it long as u dont get it scratched.But if your cd is labeled cd-r,then whatever is on it is permanet.buy cd-rw's.

~~~If the cd is a CDR in order to play it in any cd player you will need to finalize the cd, this means that no more can be added and you can not erase the cd.
if the cd is a CDRW, you can erase it and use it again, however, if you finalize it so that you can play it in any cd player you will no longer be able to erase and re use it. if you record it as data to be played in your computer and do not finalize the disk you will be able to erase and re use the cd or add to it at a later time, providing space is available to add to it~~~

you need to use some CR-RW, because in "cda" format when you start a multisession disc not all the players will read the information added in later burning sessions. in the normal CD-R Cd's you can use the " multisesion " format for burning information, because the computer can read later sessions, you can add files and always be readable by any computer but in the " CDa" format for normal cd players they not recognize the later sessions and the new audio Will not play or will play with errors

if its a data cd (for your computer or some cd players, basically the file is left in mp3 format), you can add more later, you can only erase it if it is cd-rw (NOT cd-r). if it is for most cd players you cannot change it once its done (except maybe you can for cd-rw i'm not sure)

In normal CDR you can write once only. You may add later if you leave the previous session OPEN and always using the same burning software.
If you use CDRW you can delete the old content fully and burn again.
CDR = Compact Disc Recordable
CDRW = Compact Disc Re-Writable.

it depends on the cd. if you have a CD-R. you will need more cds. If you burn it to a CD-RW, you can erase it and add more songs to it.

No, you can keep the CD Open for further Writing. you can also use a Re-write Cd which is like a regular floppy.

If you have a cd-rw....that means you can "re-write" the cd. you need a cd-rw disc and a cd-rw reader in your computer
