I've never formatted a CD. Never had the need to do so.

Well... that's not always the case--at least not for PCs. All of the CDs
and DVDs I've ever bought come pre-formatted. It's just a matter of
dragging the files to them, then choosing "Write these files..." In the PC
world, if I'm told that the CD needs to be formatted, that's usually an
indication that the drive is malfunctioning.

Yes, new CDs must be formatted before data can be written to them...
