OT: Multisession CD’s
Trying to archive my finished projects to a cd-r, in windows I either dragged & dropped onto the cd until the disc was full or used Nero to add to a multisession disc over a period of days. The rudest tech support person I’ve encountered in many moons, Kathleen, at Apple just told me that mac’s don’t do multisession cd-r’s and would not recommend any 3rd party software.
What am I looking for here? Not a mac person at all, recommendations appreciated.

Hi
Whilst Mac OS X has basic CD (and DVD) writing capabilities, the long-standing application-of-choice for this is Roxio’s Toast
http://www.roxio.com
If you make an ISO 9660 CD-ROM XA project with this you can either import sessions from another disc as you add new data, or add new sessions to an already-written CD.
From Toast 7’s Help file:
“Multi-session CDs: If you are making an ISO CD and would like to leave the disc “open” so you can record additional data sessions at a later time, click the Advanced tab and choose Write Session. You can now continue to add data to this CD until you have exceeded its capacity or you choose Write Disc to “close” it. You can append the sessions so they appear as a single icon on your Desktop. You cannot make multi-session DVDs.” -
Creating multi-session CDs is not direct but it’s an easy process using Disk Utility.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
