There seems to be a lot of opinions about this, but everything I've read
recently I thought indicated that CD-RW dye was less stable than that used
in CD-R.

If anyone burning CD-R has yet to read the Macintouch May/June Special
topic on CD-recordables, it is a good read with some surprising info. See
