Making a Multisession Disc

A session is a recorded area on a disc that contains one or more music or data tracks. A disc can have either a single session or multiple sessions, and a disc with multiple sessions is called a multisession disc.

• | Note: | A multisession audio CD is not recommended. Only the tracks recorded in the first session are playable on most home or car stereo CD players. To combine both music and data on a CD, see Recording an Enhanced Audio CD or Recording a Mixed Mode CD.

To make the first session:

1 | To record the first session, add files to the content area as you normally would.

2 | When you are ready to record, choose Recorder > Recorder Settings (or click the green Recorder Options button, and choose Recorder Settings).

| The Recorder Settings dialog appears.

3 | In the Recorder Settings dialog, click the Advanced tab, then make sure the Close Disc check box is not checked.

4 | Click OK.

5 | Click the red Record button.

6 | When prompted, insert a disc into the currently selected recorder. For information about the best types of media to use, see Choosing the Kind of Media to Use.

| Toast displays a progress bar as it burns your data to disc. A message appears indicating that recording is complete.
