A method of writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW disc on a track by track basis. Recording can be paused between writing tracks, unlike Disc at Once, which...
A writing mode that allows a session to be written in a number of discrete write events, called tracks. The mode mandates a minimum track length of 300 blocks (4 seconds), which equates to around 700KB, and a maximum of 99 tracks per disc. The disc may be removed from the writer and read in another writer before the session is fixated.
During the CD burning process, each track is written on its own and the writer laser is turned off before starting to burn the next track. This causes a 2 second gap between tracks.
