Multisession Discs: Burn MP3s to The Same CD or DVD More Than Once

Wednesday November 11, 2009

If you prefer to backup your music library to CD or DVD, then have you tried creating a multisession disc? Simply put, a multisession disc makes it possible for you to add data to the same CD or DVD using more than one burning session; if there is free space still left on the disc then you can add more data to it at a later date. There have probably been times in the past when you've been frustrated by not being able to burn more information to a disc that still had free space on it. The obvious advantage of using a multisession disc is that you don't have to fill up a disc in one go, but you can burn chunks of data until your CD or DVD is full.

Popular CD and DVD disc recording programs such as Nero can create this type of format enabling you to burn your media files at your own leisure. Even though this method isn't as space-efficient as burning all your files in one go (a small amount of space is lost using a multisession disc), it's a lot more user-friendly and is well worth doing if you don't currently have enough data to fill an entire disc.

If you're interested in finding out more, then our tutorial on How to Create a Multisession CD or DVD using the free CDBurnerXP program will get you started.
