On a related note, I have a CD reader* which will happily read CD-RW but will not read a multi-session CD-R until the CD has been finalised (and no more writes are possible). To be more precise, it will (not-surprisingly) only read CD-RWs that have been finalised, but this is less of an issue thanks to the W.
