Do you prefer CD-R or CD-RW for music? (sopuli.xyz)

For those who use CDs for music, which writable CD type do you use, and why?

Main differences:

CD-R can only be written once
CD-RW is more expensive

The price difference is quickly made up for with the re-usability factor.

I don't think that's true, CD-Rs cost pennies. You have to rewrite every CD-RW 4 or 5 times before it's comparable in price. In practice, across every CD-RW ever made, the approximate number of times it is written is probably about 0.5
