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

if you listen to unpopular music and dont wanna pay a 20$ shipping cost per disc 😔

I've never paid that much for a used CD on eBay and I don't think I only listen to popular or well-known artists...

Try the Discogs Marketplace if you haven't had any luck on eBay, sellers there tend to know a bit more about how much their stuff is worth. It's pretty nice if you're looking for a particular pressing, too.

i live in australia, and i can only find sales from europe or america (even on discogs). even without shipping, the cheapest i can find are about 3€ or something, wheres a CD-R costs about 1$AUD each. also shipping can take about 2 weeks
