 CD-R 

CD-R is an abbreviation of compact disc recordable[?]. Operating on the same premise as a CD, a CD-R is thin disc made of polycarbonate[?] with 120mm diameter used to store music or data. However, unlike conventional CD media, a CD-R has dye core instead of a metal core. A laser is used to etch "pits" into the dye so that the disc can later be read by the laser in a CD-ROM drive or CD player. Once used, a CD-R cannot be erased and reused, but it can be recorded in multiple sessions by using UDF format. A CD-RW, though, can be reused.

There was some incompatability with CD-R and older CD-ROM drives. This was primarily due to the lower reflectivity of the CD-R disc. In general, CD drives marked as 8x or greater will usually read CD-R discs.

The Drama, proving itself the age, absorbed the available literary talent as it has never done since. Sudden as the outburst was however, it had been made possible by many years intrinsic value had been actually achieved.
