It is easily possible to erease a CD-RW so you can burn on them again. How often that is possible doesn't depend on the software used, but on the quality of the CD-RW you are using. Most manufacturers seem to claim that their RWs can be rewritten 1000 times, but I have not yet had the time to try that. Of course, a CD-RW written with burncd can also be ereased and re-used by any ofter CD writing software. There should be absolutely no problem.
