Hi, Yes; this is a known shortcoming of the unit. However, at the moment it is a good way of distinguishing between the already confusing field of either DAISY or audio CD recording. However, I really see no reason why this could not be technically implemented in a future upgrade; perhaps making a case to Plextor would up the priority?
Having said this, however, I really don't see the PTR1 as a CD recorder, as you have been told here many times, and I would imagine that if this were to be implemented, then the functionality would remain much the same (i.e, lack of editing on audio disks). Sorry for the long subject line in the last reply; it may be best to see if we can keep this reasonably short since I did not read what was in a lot of that subject because of its length.
