  • Patent number: 6631107
    Abstract: Write-once read-many disks have a directory for file management in every session and files existing in other sessions can be managed in this directory.

The present invention enables music CDs to take full advantage of multisession recording and realizes multisession-formatted music CDs wherein TOCs (Table of Contents) are recorded in the lead-in areas of the multiple sessions, each TOC in which the information for managing pieces of music (tracks) in other sessions has been registered.
