The only time I use cdrecord is when i create my own CD image or when the image has no TOC.

FYI, Cdrdao has a root exploit if the setuid bit is on. I don't know whether this is fixed in a later release so be careful. > haven't needed to try out the multisession option yet. Neither have I.

Sorry, I have not tried any multi session writing yet. > i'll try if you say yes. Please give it a shot. -- Shanu -- Think of it!
