Before you start editing

Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated
when you eject the MD or press

You can edit the recorded tracks on an MD by
moving and erasing tracks, etc. By editing the
recorded tracks, you can create original MD
albums without dubbing between MDs.

track order incorrectly, this function lets
you cancel the last edit and restore the
tracks and track order to the condition
