I believe that you can write onto both writeable cds and rewriteable cds, in
fact you definitely can, I have only ever had a cd-rw drive, I think drives that could only write but not rewrite were a very early thing, but I know I write to writeable discs, not rewriteable ones usually as they are much much cheaper. If you use your software correctly you can leave them "open" which means you can add to them, but it limits where you can use them, you shouldn't have a problem on another PC for example, but you wouldn't be able to play an "open" audio cd on a cd player, you would need to "close" it.
