Adding stuff to cd rw disc

[tayvens]

A (hopefully) simple question for all the 10.3 gurus out there...

If I want to add something to a cd rw disc that I already have stuff on I have gone to disc utility, erased the disc, then burnt the suff I just erased then added the new stuff. Is there a simpler way of just adding the new stuff to the disc?

Oh yeah dude..you dont need to do that..infact you can keep on adding data even to cd-r ....yeah u dont even need cd -rw..
prepare a disk image (.dmg file) of whatevr u wanna burn..insert the cd, from the diskutility, click burn...click the arrow for burn options..then check 'leave the disk appendable'...and burn the disk...then next time u wanna add somethn to the cd, do the same..now instead of 'burn' it wd say 'append'...
cheers


P.S..when u click burn second time, ie, when you are appending it, it wd eject ur cd..but the option wd be saying 'append'..so just push it back in...

My question is, why does Mac OS X make you use a disk image to make appendable CDs? I don't understand why Disc Burner doesn't offer the 'leave disc appendable' option in a Finder burn, thus avoiding use of Disk Utility and being far more intuitive to use. C'mon Apple, I want to see this feature included in a future version of Mac OS X!
