Not really, you can't just drag and drop files to it. You HAVE to use a
utility such as cdrecord from the console or xcdroast from with X (and there
are other newer ones appearing all the time).
These programs don't talk to the CDR using the normal filesystem methods
anyway so they won't care. If you don't put RO, you'll only get told that
it's a read-only filesystem so it will be mounted RO anyway ;o)
Of course they might care that it's mounted at all - not sure on that one -
if they do, just make sure it's unmounted before running any burner
software.
