can you physically write on a cd-rw instead of just the jacket cover so you know the contents or will it ruin.

Question

I have a CDR-RW with a neat photo on it but I accidentally put something else on it (no harm done) as I used what I thought was a blank CD. Can I write on the actual CD where there are lines or will it destroy the contents. I have the information on the jacket casing but they are easily mixed up if one is not careful.

Answer 1

Yup,
You can write on the 'up side' of the disc, but only use something like a soft permanent pen.

Answer 2

Of course. Use a soft tip marker. If you use a pen or something else hard you will damage the disc and not be able to read it.

Also there is some cd writing software that comes with its own label making program so you can make a sticky label for your CD.

Answer 3

You can totally write over the CD faced with prints and lines, for better result go to Office Max and buy a special marker for CD

Answer 4

There are two sides to the CD: one with small lines that hold the data (this side is down when you burn or read the CD), and the other side (that is face-up when in your computer) is the side you can write on without any problems.

Answer 5

Use a soft-tip felt marker should be ok. Some printers can also print labels or directly on the cd too.

Answer 6

yeah write on the back of the CD it won't ruin it as long as you don't scratch it.

Answer 7

God told you correct answer. Always listen to God.
