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.
