Rewritable CD's (identified as CD-RWs) can, obviously, be
rewritten. While they remain a little more expensive that CD-Rs
(perhaps twice the cost) they can be reused many times. But note that
not all home audio CD players can read CD-RWs. One that can is the
Marantz CD5000.
Burning a CD-RW is essentially no different to burning a CD-R. In
fact cdrdao
identified the CD-RW correctly and dropped its
recoding speed down to 4x to suit the CD-RW, all automatically.
To re-record the CD-RW you need to blank it first. With
cdrdao
this is done with:
Although the command returns quite quickly the blanking process
continues for quite some time while it performs a long write (you can
instead do a minimal blank with the option -blank-mode
minimal. After this has completed you can burn to the CD-RW as if
it were a new blank CD-R.
