All CD's cdr, rw and plain old CD's have a reflective metal layer above the data layer; it is a necessary part of the medium. In CD's the data layer is molded pits, in CDR's and CDRW's these are dye layers. But the rest of the CD construction is largely identical. See: <http://www.disk.com/html/cd-programmable/technology.htm> It's an ad for some Kodak technology, but it describes how CD-R's and CD's are made. Both have a reflective metal layer. In CD's it's aluminum, in CDR's it's sometimes gold, but more often silver. See also: <http://www.imation.com/en_US/ main.jhtml?Id=12_10_01&Article=2001_08_cdr.xml> -- Wherever you go, there you are.
