Track At Once and Disc At Once

Data can be written to CD-R/RW media in one of the following two ways.

❍Track At Once

In this method, data is written in units of tracks (individual regions of audio data). This method can be used only for CD-R media.

When the Track At Once method is used to write data to a CD-R, approximately two seconds of silence will be created between tracks each time a track is writ- ten. Additional audio data can be recorded later on CD-R media that was written using this method.

•In order for CD-R media written using Track At Once to be played on a CD-RW drive or on a conventional CD player, you must perform the Finalize operation to write track location data etc. on the disc after all tracks have been written.

•No further recording is possible on CD-R media that has been finalized.

❍Disc At Once

This method writes the data for all tracks in one operation, and can be used for either CD-R or CD-RW media. Unlike the Track At Once method, the operation will not stop until all data has been written, meaning that there will be no silent sections between tracks.

•CD-R/CD-RW media written using Disc At Once will automatically be final- ized, and can therefore be played immediately on a CD player.

•No further data can be recorded on media written using Disc At Once. (How- ever in the case of CD-RW media, you can erase all of the audio data and then rewrite.)
