conventional disc.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows
additional data to be recorded later. When
recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW,
etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as
a single unit or session. Multi-session is a
method of recording more than 2 sessions in
one disc.

This is a general term for a method of writing on
CD-R, etc. at the time required for a file, just as
is done with files on floppy or hard discs.
VBR
VBR is short for Variable Bit Rate. Generally

according to the needs of audio compression, it
is possible to achieve compression priorities
sound quality.

WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio and
refers to an audio compression technology that
is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA
