Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the first session type
of the CD determines how COMAND will
process the CD.
For example, if the first session type is
according to the audio CD standard and the
second session type is according to the data
CD standard containing MP3/WMA tracks,
COMAND will treat the CD as a conventional
audio CD. This means that it is only possible
to access the audio CD tracks. Access to the
MP3/WMA tracks is not possible.
Similarly, if the first session type is according
to the data CD standard containing MP3/
WMA tracks and the second session type is
according to the audio CD standard,
COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD. This
means that it is only possible to access the
MP3/WMA tracks. Access to the audio CD
tracks is not possible.
