Help about burning a CD....

Question

okay i burned a CD from Window's Media Player but now i want to erase the songs i put on the CD. i've tried different ways but everytime it says its a read only CD so what should i do? how do i go about deleting the songs on the CDs? will you help?

Answer 1

YOU CAN'T DELETE STUFF OFF OF CD-R DISKS. THEY ARE READ ONLY AND CAN'T BE ERASED. USE CD-RW DISKS, WHICH ARE REWRITABLE. THEY CAN BE ERASED AND REUSED UP TO 1000 TIMES. I ALWAYS USE CD-RW THAT WAY WHEN I GET TIRED OF HEARING A CERTAIN CD I CAN ERASE IT AND PUT MORE MUSIC ON THERE.

Answer 2

sorry man the cd you have is read only if you want todelete the files on the cd you need to to get a CD-RW that meas read and write  

Answer 3

Just as you described it, its a READ ONLY, meant it allows you to write to it ONCE, then after that, read only, you cant delete or remove it.

Try using CD-RW (for rewritable) Disc types in future

Answer 4

If it's not a cd-rw,you can't erase them.

Answer 5

If it says it's a "read only CD," then you are using a CD-R, which can only be burned once and can't be erased. Next time, use a CD-RW. You can burn and erase them up to 99 times.

Answer 6

What type of cd did you use ,?

Only RW (Read Write) discs can be erased and used over  

Answer 7

Well it may be just a regular CD.. .So therefore you cannot erase the songs off of it. If you have a rewritable CD then you can do that.
