    That's why I said "a normal data CD", leaving a session open renders a
CDR(W) useless on anything other than a CDR/W Drive because the TOC hasn't
been written. I often burn my audio compilations to CDRW and play them in my
home CD player. Not many cd players can play CDRW, but when they can it is
very convenient (most DVD players can play CDRW). I have found that most
Sony component CD Players don't even hiccup on CDRW media.

     No matter what CDR software you use, if you burn a CDRW disc as a
normal Data or audio CD (which means the session is closed) any player that
can adjust to the lower reflectivity of a CDRW will be able to read it
without any special software. The only case this isn't true is if you use
Mickysoft's Joliet format for long files names, some OS's don't like that
format. TTYL
