I believe your mileage will vary. I believe most
desktop CD-ROMS will be able to read a cd-rw. I however
have had problems with older laptop drives. Audio
CD-RWs in regular audio cd players is more inconsistent.
Since CD-RWs can be erased, you have nothing to lose
by experimenting with various drives. I do recommend
you finalize your burned CD-RWs instead of using
multisession. This will greatly help with compatibility.
