I just purchased toast and having used roxio on the PC I'm a little confused. I burned a multisession disk, 3 to be exact and when I put the disk into the computer it shows 3 volumes on the desktop. I find this strange considering it's only 1 disk with multiple files and folders. Am I doing someting wrong or is this the way it is because personally I think it's absolutely ridiculous.

Just curious, Thanks

Each session creates a volume. It has to. That's what "session" means in this context.

You can only append to previous sessions using a CD-RW (because the volume information needs to be updated if it's resized, i.e. if files are added) and the "packet-writing" method.

I'm not sure if any software for Mac OS X supports this.

Yeah, this bugs me too. I used to burn multisession disks with Toast on OS 9 and it definitely did not do this. If you were burning a straight ISO 9660 CD, it would concatenate the contents of the sessions and display them all at the root of a single volume.

I know that Disk Utility makes multiple volumes. Haven't tried it with Toast, but if you haven't already, make sure you're burning an ISO 9660 disk rather than an HFS disk.

If it still does this, even when burning ISO 9660, it might be interesting to put the disk into an OS 9 machine and see whether the problem is the current version of Toast or the Mac OS X Finder.

From my personal experience, this seems to be the way buning a multi-session disk in HFS/HFS+ format behaves. ISO 9660 doesn't do this.
