music burning

[Guest]

Hi-Another stupid question. I just enrolled in a music downloading service.
I am new to this. I'm figuring out some of the process but have one problem.
When I burn data in a multisession format, all is fine.
However, when I burn one song from LimeWire Pro I cannot add another
song at a later date to the same cd-r. It (NERO ULTRA) tells me I can't add
to the disc and wants a cd-rw-which I do. Still does not work. Are music
files different; should I download many songs and then burn them all at once?
Help, please.

CD-Rs are a onetime deal. Use a CD-RW disk.

[[CD-R stands for Compact Disc-Recordable and can be recorded only once.
You may continue to add files until the CD is full as long as the disc is
not closed (write-protected). You cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or
alter the files or file structure on the CD after recording.

CD-RW stands for Compact Disc-Rewritable. It allows you to record the disc
and then erase the entire disc and start over. You cannot select certain
files to delete; you must erase the entire disc. Unless you erase the disc,
you cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or alter the files or file structure
on the CD after recording. ]]

[[If a CD is open, it means that further information can be added to it. It
is not write protected.]]

Closed CD:
[[If a CD is closed, it is permanently write-protected. No further
information can be added to the disc. Closing a CD is analogous to moving
the write-protect tab on a floppy disc to the write-protect position.
However, unlike floppies, you can only change the write-protect setting on a
burned CD once. Once the disc is write-protected (closed), this setting is
permanent.]]

you havee to make sure that you have the disk at once option ticked in write
method option, you will see that after you have click on burn and a window
called burn compilation will appear,
