What Does Cd-rw Stand For And What Does It Play?any Help Will Be Good.

The Deceived · 09-05-2005, 09:28 PM

CD-RW means 'Compact Disc - Re-Writer' which basically means that it can take a blank CD and write information on it. It can also take CDs that have already been used (usually CDs that an individual has used, not a company making music CDs), and take all the information on it, and then put brand new information on it. It will also play any CD you put in it (usually) but cannot read, or write DVDs.

Hope that helps

Could You Play Pc Games On It?

can you play pc games through a cd rw rather than a cd rom? Is that what your asking?

-- Yes you can. The CD RW is a cd rom too... just like a dvd rw can play dvds

Yes.
A CD-RW is a regular cd player, but it can also write on CD-R disks and can Erase and rewrite on CD-RW disks.
