Track at Once

 

Data can be recorded to a disc, one track at a time. New tracks can be added later. Music CDs 
can not be played in a CD player or CD-ROM until the disc is closed. 

Disc at Once

 

Data can be recorded to an entire disc in one pass. In this mode, new data added later is not 
allowed.  

Session at Once

 

Data can be recorded to disc one session at a time. New sessions can be written later in this 
mode. More disc space can be used because there is no gap between tracks. 

Multi session 

Data can be recorded to disc in one session. New sessions can be written later in this mode.  
Less disc space can be used because a gap is created between sessions.
