Primer on CD-R

The following is intended to be parts of a primer on recordable Compact Disc formats. I have favored simple expression over technical detail. For that, I urge you to check other resources, as found in the URLs. In particular, the information from vendors is authoritative, where the following is not. The focus is on PC's and Windows; those with Unix or Mac systems are welcome to translate to the extent possible. (I try not to write about things I don't know.)

Inputs are invited for corrections and for additional topics. Best of all would be a draft for posting here; it will get you a byline and international exposure. (Great for the resume, you know.)
