    Burning at different times

    Hi,
    Good Day!

    I've got some mp3 files to be written on a writable cd to play them in the DVD player. There is a lot of space leftover on the cd. Can I use this space later on to write any other new files even after playing it several times in the player.

    it depends on if you finalise the CD or not

    Thanks for your reply. But, I din't get you. Please explain the option to be selected for adding the files on the cd later on.

    what are you using to burn the CD?

    Finalize your audio CD

    With most CD burning software, when burning an audio CD you will be given the option of finalizing the disc or not. If you want to add additional tracks to the CD later on, you would want to leave the disc open, and NOT finalize it. However, the disc will probably not play in your CD player unless it is finalized. When you finalize a disc, a table of contents is written at the end of the CD, which CD players need to read them. Many people burn audio CDs without finalizing them, and then wonder why they won't play in their stereo system.
