Question about CD Burners - multi-session

[Lord Magus]

When you burn a CD in multiple sessions ANY hardware that reads a CDs reads each session as a SEPERATE CD (though they may appear as only one compiled CD on a computer harddrive, depending on the system), because multiple sessions each have their own in and out tracks. The difference between Single and multi-session is the out track on a single session basicly says "This is the end of the CD" whereas the multi-session says "This is the end of this session, check for more in tracks". CD Musical Playback devices are built to make use of single session CDs, so they aren't capable of scanning for additional sessions, and will only play the first session recorded on the disk. Multi session burning is really only for use with data files (or to keep things seperated for sorting reasons) so that the entire CDs storage capacity can be utilized.

Essentially, when burning mixes you've got to do it all in one shot/session.
