I don't understand why anyone would still bother CDRW when you can get
CD-R for less than $1.50 or so each.  We found quite a bit of trouble
with CDRW as far as compatibility went -- not fully red book compliant. 
What are you guys paying for these RW discs?  Last I remember, they were
8 to 10x the cost of regular CD-R.  Is this just my audio industry
legacy code??<g>
