How many times rewrite a CD-RW?

[ridergroov]

Just wondering, i'm just starting to get into using CD-RWs again....the first time i did it i counted on one and it totally screwed everything up that i had on the disk beforehand so i never used them again....anyway....how many times can you erase and rewrite on CD-RWs and DVD-RWs?

I believe the specs say about 1,000 times so you should be fine. Although, every now and then...some people say they can't erase them or re-write them after a short period of time. But that's a rarety. I have some cdrw's which i've re-writeen several hundreds of times and never had any issues.

ive erased and re-written to plenty of CD-RW's a countless amount of times, and it only stopped erasing/writing when they got scratched (for me, that is)
