•The “Lead-in”, “program area” and “Lead-out” areas are present on every conventional prerecorded CD.

•For the partially recorded CD-R or -RW disc, the PCA and PMA areas are incorporated in front of the Lead-in.

•Track numbers with associated absolute start and stop times are stored in the PMA.

The possibility exists of making further recordings later. It would also be possible to declare the disc as fully recorded. In which case, the definitive table of contents (TOC) is written into the Lead-in.
