-At this time there is no multisession support.+Xfburn has 3 write modes, which are Auto, TAO (Track-at-Once) and SAO (Session-at-Once). TAO records with the laser stopping after each track is finished and SAO allows the recording over multiple sessions, which will all be read by a computer drive, but CD equipment will only read the first session. At this time there is no multi-session support.
