Abstract

A method for writing compressed audio data to a compact disc media is provided. The method includes selecting songs to be written in a session and reserving a first track. After the first is reserved, the method proceeds to writing a first temporary data structure and audio data to a second track following the first track. After the second track is closed, part of first temporary data structure (e.g., the recompiled INFO.CD3 part) is written to the reserved first track and the session is closed. Another method includes beginning a session writing the compressed audio data to the compact disc media. A track that includes a file system and an audio data section is then written. The writing of the track further includes writing an INFO.CD3 file, writing an ISO file system, and writing a FILEINFO.LC file following the ISO file system. Once the audio data section is written, the method proceeds to closing the track and closing the session.
