Dividing Recorded Tracks (Divide Function)

With the Divide function, you can mark a new track number at points that you want to randomly access afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into multiple portions. When you divide a track, the total number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all tracks following the divided one are renumbered.

Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C
