Multi vs single track CDr/rw

[BeachBum]

Music CDs of the CDA kind are multi-track. MP3 data CDR may be either multi or single tracked.

My question is that you may throw a lot of data at a CDR/RW over many sessions so that CD will be multi-tracked and multi-sessioned. Now if you copy this CD, a data CD, will it copy to a single track? I know that some older CD players can't cope with multi-session recordings and often can't play CDRW so does the multi-session info only apply to the original CDRW or to the copies too?

I think that if you do a CD Copy of it it will be the same. But you could always extract the files and recompile the CD

ding ding! G4L is correct. a direct copy replicates the CD tracks, leadin/outs and all.

I know I'm being lazy and I agree that recompiling would certify what format the CD was to be written in. I should go read a bit more of these mysteries I think.
