Using a multi-session cd-writer has pros and cons.
The good thing is that the throw away session information
isn't gone and software can access specific sessions later.
The bad thing is that each session must be closed for
the session to be readable later and the closing data
takes three minutes of the 72 minute total capacity of a
contemporary 5 inch CD.  This means you cannot write more
than 24 sessions even at 0 length each.
