Testing Your Multisession CD
If you need to distribute data on multisession CDs—for example,
you send CDs out to clients or colleagues, they send them back to be
updated, and then you send them out again—you should test your
multisession CD to make sure all the interested parties can read the
data. A simple test is to make a multisession CD (as described in
How to Make a Multisession CD on page 5-2) with directories named
A through M in the first session and directories N through Z in a sec-
ond session. Send that CD to whoever needs to read your data; if
they can see all the directories from A to Z, then they can read your
multisession CD.
Importing Sessions
Easy CD Creator allows you to import either the previous session or
a specific session on the CD to the new session you are writing. Only
by importing a session to the new session you are adding to the CD
can you view the contents written during a previous session. To see
all of the sessions written on the CD, use the Automatically Import
Previous Session option (see Importing Previous Sessions on page 5-3)
for each session you write. This ensures that all previously written
sessions are continually imported to the most recent session on the
CD. For example, if you are writing session 2, automatically link it to
session 1 to view the contents of sessions 1 and 2. When you are
writing session 3, import session 2 to view the contents of sessions 2
and 1, and so on.
Accessing Different Sessions
If the multisession CD was not linked to previous sessions (see
Importing Previous Sessions and Importing a Specific Session on page
5-3), you can use the Session Selector to access more than just the last
session written. See Chapter 14, Using the Session Selector.
