What Is The Difference Between A Pressed CD & A Burned One ?

I already looked online for what the difference is or was , but it was of no help. It was very laxed with the explanation & a lot of added overly inflated verbiages. I was wondering what the difference was or is in the "pressing" of a music CD only mainly versus a burned one. I believe I already know what a burned music CD is & what it pertains to , but I am truly wondering what separates a pressed music CD & what may make a pressed music CD the cut above the rest when it comes to being better than burned CD's. Again , I am asking about pressed "Music" CD's & not burned or pressed DVD's or any other form of ROM or CD disc-like software. Music CD's only please. I only have Music CD's.

Any ideas ?

.... Thanks

I got a confusing answer from "Miles". I got no distinctive answer from him regarding there being a distinction between Pressed Or Burned CD's. Very technical answer that gave me no separate distinction between Pressed versus Burned CD's. I cannot tell what was talked about a pressed CD versus a burned one. Seems like a description of all Burned as well as Pressed CD's

I think "Miles" answer depicts the burning process of a Pressed CD as well as a Burned CD

I think I got a co-mingled jumbled together answer from Miles

Edited Jan 7, 2014:

What I was saying is that CDs are a definite version of the music or data that can't be changed. Since the reflective surface is actually pressed and is set in the way the laser reads it.

The burn one is prone to errors as the burning might have gotten messed up in the process. It's not as permanent or reliable as a pressed CD. Thought it gets the job done.

With records there would be a master print. With pressed CDs that is the same case while burned copies are just copies.

If your burning in lossless or uncompressed audio then it will be the same audio on both formats. Same quality, same files.
