TAO
(Track At Once)
|
The
CD writer writes each track singly and if followed strictly to the
standard leaves a 2 second pre-gap in between tracks (though this
can be taken out by some software) TAO is useful for leaving a
session open to add more information at a later date to the CD, or
it can be used for Multi-Session CD's where you can close the
session off and start a new session at a later date.
