How many times can you reuse a CD-R for burning music? If I get tired of what is on it already, do I need to erase it before burning the new music? Or will the new, just automatically override the old?

Sorry but the CD-R only work one time

Zero times. You need a CD-RW to allow rewrites.

CD-R is write-once and *cannot* be erased. CD-RW can be erased and re-writen with new data/music. However, CD-R has two big advantages over CD-RW; 1) Most CD players can read a CD-R, but not all of them can read a CD-RW 2) CD-RW discs are a *lot* more expensive. Depending on where you go, you might be able to pick a 50-pack of CD-Rs for the same price as a 5-pack of CD-RWs.

CD-R discs can only be used once. CD-RW can be rewritten and erased up to 1,000 times.

Gee, how time flies! Nobody uses discs any more (in 2017), even thumb drives are going by the wayside as streaming takes over.
