CD-RW and Leopard in Finder....

[unity]

I searched and tried to find this answer, but came up empty.

Does Leopard support CD-RW media they way it is suppose to be use? That is the ability to write multiple sessions.

Tiger, as far as I know, does not without third-party software or by using some fancy foot work in Disk Utility. This single "issue" has honestly been the reason three people I know did not get an Apple portable.

I believe it does.A dialog box will pop up asking you if you want to close out the disk.I think.

Don't quote me on it.

It would be about fracking™ time!

But I want to. 😀

If true, that would be nice indeed. I HATE to EVER compare Windows to OS X, but lets face it, Windows could do this for some time now. I do it every day for backups at work.

I mean its really stupid that one could not use a CD-RW or DVD-RW as intended.

I guess we will need some more input from a few more BETA users to confirm this for sure.

Yeah, I burn CDRs a lot less than I used to, but the way Windows handles this is fairly straightforward.

Yes, but every now and then, a CD I burn with default Windows utility does not get recognized on another Windows machine. I'd rather use a third part tool that works rather than risk it. Even on Windows I use "Nero" for burning.
