Rusty,
CDRW discs for the most part can only be read by drives that support them
(Recordable CD drives). All standard CDRom drives can not read the discs.
As for other problems, cdrw discs have a shorter preservation life, and as
you mentioned are more expensive.

Subject: [Micronet] cd-r vs cd-rw discs
