What type of recordable CD,s do I need

[citizen smith]

Hi Folks,

I have a question about MP3,s of which I know nothing about being and old boy born pre MP3,s. My problem is that next week I will collect my 2006 MX5 that has a CD/MP3 player and I believe that it is possible to Burn your own music onto a CD from a Laptop, but I have NO idea on what "type of CD" that I need to buy to Burn this music.

Can anyone shed the light on the subject please.

CD-R you can write music to them but only once
CD-RW you can re write the cd if you want to upgrade your bangin choons.

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for the info, you have just saved me from constantly changing CD,s.

Cheers.

No problem

Some CD players have problems with CD-RW disks and don't play them so it might be safest to use the single use CD-R. They're well cheap.
I forgot to put this bit in my other post. My golf wouldn't play CD-RW.

Also, bear in mind that writeable CDs (and rewritable) are susceptible to UV light degradation, so put them in the case, in a dark spot like the glove box or something when you're not playing them.

Many thanks guys for your help and tips. Purchased some CD-R,s yesterday. Will hopefully be able to put some tunes on the CD,s.

Thanks again.
