58 ULEAD BURN.NOW USER GUIDE

Track-At-Once

A writing mode that writes data to a disc by track. When burning a
disc in this mode, the burner’s laser turns on and off in between
tracks, creating a gap between tracks. (This is equivalent to two-
second gaps of silence between audio tracks on an Audio CD.)
