Whenever you are testing or making a critical CD-R (especially one for
archival storage or for replication), burn the discs in disc-at-once
mode instead of track-at-once mode method, which is available in many
audio and duplication applications. Disc-at-once mode will burn the disc
in its entirety without switching the writing laser off. Track-at-once
will burn each track separately; switching the write laser on and off.
Track-at-once produces errors on the disc, often rectified on playback
via error correction. In addition, track-at-once discs do not conform to
the Red Book specifications (the standard for audio CDs), thus making
them incompatible with various players and not excepted by various
duplication facilities.
