Adding more tracks to a music CD

[RyGuy]

I realize this doesn't have to do with video but I don't know where else to get help and since you guys are all experts on burning CD's. WHat I want to know is if it's possible to add more music tracks to a music CD once its already been burned. I've been able to do it, but the added tracks won't play on my cd player.

If you have left the disk open and have NOT closed the session the answer is yes.

If you have closed the session, the answer is NO you cannot add further audio tracks to the disk.

If you were able to do it yet it doesn't read all the tracks, then that's because you did the burning in 2 sessions and consumer CD players will only read from the 1st session. *Note*-there are a few DVD players that will read multi-session.

What you want to do is take the disc to a computer, rip the tracks onto the HD, then burn a NEW disc as single session, closed and finalized. Then you'll hear all the tracks. Use a drive and ripper that will recognize multiple sessions of audio.

HTH,
