Hi, Please can you help i,m trying to make up a compilation cdr or cdrw disc from various othere cd,s i own but after doing the first burn in "cd copy" mode it won,t do any more it just keeps ejecting it and saying "put a new cdr or cdrw into the drive"but i havn,t closed the disc so why does it do that? because when i,ve burnt in "audio copy"mode , burning mp3,s off the hard disc there,s no problem doing more than 1 session as long as i don,t close the disc of course.
Also i,d like to burn tracks from a tape deck, i,ve got the connectors but i,m not sure how you record them to the hard drive?
i,m using nti,s pro. software.

Why try to burn in TAO mode. What burnware are you using. Rip the tracks to your hard drive and burn the entire complilation at once. Try the fully functional demo of Feurio (www.feurio.com). Use freeware dBPowerAMP (www.dbpoweramp.com) to rip the tracks to wave file. Then create the compilation in Feurio and burn DAO.

Hi Robertson, took this from the Nero help files for you........

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to create and record a Multisession CD. Nero allows you to record a Multisession CD from a blank disc OR from an ISO CD.
If you want to continue writing a Multisession CD, please see 'Continuing a Multisession CD'
We will leave all the options with their default settings.
Introduction
Normally Nero writes ISO tracks using the CD sector format „Mode 1". Starting with version 3.0.1 Nero supports also the „
Mode2/XA" format. The XA format is an extension of the ISO structures and may only be written in the CD sector format „
Mode 2". If you read Mode2/XA-CDs using a PC, DOS/Windows and a modern CD-ROM drive both Mode 1 and Mode2/XA CDs may be used. You won't see any difference between Mode 1 and Mode2/XA CDs.

Follow the instructions carefully. Good luck!

1. Click on the CD-ROM icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Multisession card is on the top.

2. Please select the Start Multisession disc option. Make only sure that the No Multisession box is not activated.
3. By opening the property page File Options you can switch between Mode 1 and Mode2/XA. The mode settings can be found in the upper right corner of this page. If these settings appear dimmed/disabled, then these settings can't be modified right now. This might for example be the case if you created the ISO compilation using the option 'continue multisession'. If you would continue a multisession CD using a different ISO- or sector format, then you would be in danger of creating an unreadable CD.

4. Now click on the New button at the right.

The corresponding blank compilation window for CD-ROM opens.

5. Using drag&drop, compile the files for the CD by clicking on the desired files in the File Browser with the mouse and then dragging them into the compilation window.
6. If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File Browser icon.
7. Now open the Write CD dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: It is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

Important: make sure that the Finalize CD box is not checked, unless you don't want to write your CD again, after this session!

8. Now you may confirm by clicking on the Write button. All of the selected steps will now be carried out in sequence including the burn process. So that you can follow exactly what is happening, a status window is displayed in which the individual steps are listed.
9. As a last step, you will see a message like "burn process was successful with 12x(1800 KB/s)".
10. Finally, the CD will be ejected.

You may now check to see for yourself what was written onto your new CD by re-inserting the CD and clicking on the CD info icon.

.................Continuing a Multisession CD.......................

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to continue writing a Multisession CD.
We will leave all the options with their default settings.

1. Insert the Multisession CD, you want to continue to record, in your CD writer.
2. Click on the CD-ROM icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Multisession card is on the top. Make only sure that the No Multisession box is not activated, otherwise you are not going to write a multisession CD, but an ISO CD!

3. Please select the Continue Multisession disc option.
4. By opening the property page File Options you can switch between Mode 1 and Mode2/XA. The mode settings can be found in the upper right corner of this page. If these settings appear dimmed/disabled, then these settings can't be modified right now. This might for example be the case if you created the ISO compilation using the option continue multisession. If you would continue a multisession CD using a different ISO- or sector format, then you would be in danger of creating an unreadable CD.

5. Now click on the New button at the right. The Select track dialog box opens.
6. Select the track that should be backed up. It will be generally the last ISO track. For this reason, Nero selects it by default.
7. Click on the OK button. The corresponding compilation window for Multissession CD opens.

This window displays all information concerning the track you have selected. Depending on the refresh options selected in the multisession property sheet, you will see some folders and files shown in black or in grey.
Folders and files shown in black designate that they have been changed or recorded on your hard disk since your last session. They will be recorded on your CD now.
Folders and files shown in grey designate that they are already on your CD. They have been recorded during your last session and have not been changed. They are not going to be physically rewritten.

8. Now open the Write CD dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: It is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

Important: make sure that the Finalize CD box is not checked, unless you don't want to write your CD again, after this session!

9. Now you may confirm by clicking on the Write button. All of the selected steps will now be carried out in sequence including the burn process. So that you can follow exactly what is happening, a status window is displayed in which the individual steps are listed.
10. As a last step, you will see a message like "burn process was successful with 12x(1800 KB/s)".
11. Finally, the CD will be ejected.
12. You may now check to see for yourself what was written onto your new CD by re-inserting the CD and clicking on the CD info icon.
