      And what do you think CD writers are? I’m not talking about rewriteable CDs here. Normal burn once CDs. You could write some files, then decide to replace a file and add more.

      Look up cd sessions. Until you finalized it, and as long as there was still free space, you could add, modify and delete data on it.
