Recording Modes Supported
Track at Once
Data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. New tracks can be added later. This mode
requires the disc to be “closed” (through the software application) before music CDs can be
played back in a CD player or CD-ROM drive.
Disc at Once
Data can be recorded to an entire disc in one pass. In this mode, new data can not be added
later.
Session at Once
Data can be recorded to a disc one session at a time. In this mode, new sessions can be written
later. This mode allows more disc space to be used than multi-session mode allows, because no
gap is created between sessions.
Multi Session
Data can be recorded to a disc in one session. In this mode, new sessions can be written later.
This mode allows less disc space to be used than session-at-once mode allows, because a gap is
created between sessions.
Packet Writing
Data can be added directly to or deleted from rewritable media. (Useful for data backup.) This
mode requires software that supports packet writing.
