The price, mostly. Blanks for WORM drives can cost as little as a
tenth of the cost of a rewriteable, so it doesn't matter that much if
mistakes are made in writing. The WORM drives themselves are also
slightly cheaper.
For writing audio CDs I would recommend a WORM. That sort of data
doesn't really need the advantage of being able to remove and add new
files. Plan the compilation, write it, enjoy - at less than 1UKP per
disc.
