Does TAMS have any plans to support multi-session?

0

The drive mechanism is capable of multi-session, but the software supports only single session. When the TAMS CDwriter software was first released, we had planned to release a multi-session capable version. However, since most of our CD-R users are archiving data, we have reconsidered. During each recording session, the directory file must be rewritten. If an error occurs during the recording of a subsequent session, there is a possibility the directory file could be corrupted and render any previously archived data inaccessible. Blank CD-Rs are inexpensive so there is no real cost savings in using a CD multiple times. In general it is not worth the risk of having archived data destroyed.
