CD-R
A CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is a variation of the
Compact Disc invented by
Philips and
Sony. CD-R is a
Write Once, Read Many optical medium (though the whole disk does not have to be entirely written in the same session) and retains a high level of compatibility with standard CD readers (unlike
CD-RW which can be rewritten but has much lower compatibility and the discs are considerably more expensive). Some people jokingly refer to these media as CD-PROM since they are the optical analogy to
Programmable read-only memory.
