Max's answers are half right.  Recording is once only but if the CD is not
full, the remaining space can still be recorded and this can include a new
FAT/table of contents for the old files already on the disk.  If you use
DirectCD, close a half-full disk, then make it writable again, it scans the
old track and makes those files visible. I've had a situation where the CD
could not be read in a regular CDROM (or not all the files could be seen),
but when made writable the CD-writer had no problems. However, if a 600MB
recording failed, you can't get that space back.

On the second point, yes they are no good as frisbies but they are excellent
and stylish coffee cup coasters.

Sorry. Recording is a once-only thing. Anyway, they make bad frisbies
