If the answer to both questions is "yes", then you could burn to CD-RW media and then copy to high-quality CD-R media on your computer.
Nope, I can't do that. CD-Rs have different sonic signatures, or the lack of them, depending on the quality of manufacture. I use the best quality CD-R I can afford to use hundreds of - the Maxell CD-R Pro, and, formerly for my audio standalone, the discontinued Maxell Music Pro. These lack a lot of the bad harmonic overtones (consistent sound coloration) that makes music burned on inferior media sound alike.

If I was going to record onto low-fidelity CD-R media to reburn to Maxell CD-R Pro, I might as well just save money and record onto the lousy inferior Maxell Music CD-Rs that I despise. Or I might as well kill myself, as that I would lose that much self respect for that lousy a sonic outcome using either method.
