Actually it's a mite more complicated than that.
Audio discs do not have to be fixed in order to play on a good modern
computer
but data cd's do.but an unfixed audio disc will not play on a regular cd
player.
Data discs have to be fixed but they don't necessarily have to be fixed all
over the cd, it depends. So you could have a data disc that you fix the
written
portion of, and leave the rest of the disc unfixed, then add some more data
files at a later date and fix those and so on.

all of the windblows proggies can fix the data only amount ofa cd and leave the
rest of the blank cd open to add more .It's just a question of getting the right
option ticked . It goes, (from memory) something like fix data don't fix disc before
the final write begins.
I'm sure that roast can do it too, and cdrecord, but as I say I cannot get it to
work for me. Whenever I have tried it fixes the whole disc and I cannot add more.
