Robin, Yes multi session allows you to write to the same CD-R more than once. You should know however that there are a _lot_ of drives out there that can not _read_ multisession CDs. That means unless you know what equipment your CD is going to be played on you'd best stay away from multisession for a while. I too have written multi session CDs on the Philips CDD521. I've had several people who said they could read multi session bring the disc back once they found out they couldn't read them after all. Unless you know the equipment, or unless you plan to make a lot of updates to the CD, I still suggest it's better to make a new CD than to write to the old one. If you know the equipment it will be used on then there's no trouble. Jerry

Jerry, Point taken, multi-session is only useful if you can be sure that there's a cd reader around when you need it <g>. Robin

Robin, That's my point exactly. You were just able to put it into fewer words than I. <g> Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
