Thanks, ec <>/

I reformatted the "man cdrecord" for easier reading,
so here it is in case anyone else had the same problem.

-multi Allow multi session CD's to be made.
This flag needs to be present on all sessions of a
multi session disk, except you want to create a
session that will be the last session on the media.
The fixation will be done in a way that allows the
CD-Recorder to append additional sessions later. This
is done by generation a TOC with a link to the next
program area. The so generated media is not 100% com­
patible to manufactured CD's (except for CDplus).
Use only for recording of multi session CD's. If
this option is present, the default track type is
CD-ROM XA mode 2. The Sony drives have no
hardware support for CD-ROM XA mode 2. You have to
specify the -data option in order to create multi
session disks on these drives. As long as cdrecord
does not have a coder for converting data sectors to
audio sectors, you need to force CD-ROM sectors by
including the -data option if you like to record
a multisession disk in SAO mode. Not all drives allow
multisession CD's in SAO mode.

-msinfo Retrieve multi session info in a form
suitable for mkisofs-1.10 or later.
This option makes only sense with a CD
that contains at least one closed session and is
appendable (not finally closed yet). Some
drives create error messages if you try to get the
multi session info for a disk that is not suitable for
this operation.

-fix The disk will only be fixated (i.e. a
TOC for a CD-Reader will be written). This may be used,
if for some reason the disk has been written but not
fixated. This option currently does not work with
old TEAC drives (CD-R50S and CD-R55S).

-nofix Do not fixate the disk after writing the
tracks. This may be used to create an audio disk in
steps. An un-fixated disk can usually not be used on a
non CD-writer type drive but there are audio CD
players that will be able to play such a disk.
