Understanding Computer Terms
multiread:
An OSTA (Optical Storage Technology Association) standard
for CD-ROM and ROM drives. Drives that follow the multiread
standard can read commercial CDs (audio and data), CD-R discs,
and CD-RW discs. They can also read CDs written in fixed- or
variable-length packets.
multi-session
A method of adding data incrementally to a CD in more than one
recording session. If data is linked between sessions, all data on a
multi-session CD, when read on a multi-session CD-ROM drive, may
be seen as part of a single logical structure. Multi-session is different
from packet writing. See packet writing.
mutli-volume
A CD containing multiple sessions that are not linked together. Each
volume on the CD must be read as if it were a separate CD. You can
read different sessions on a CD by using the Session Selector in Easy
CD Creator Deluxe.
music software
Programs for composing and editing music. When you play a tune on
a synthesizer keyboard connected to a computer, the music program
translates what you play into a written score. Music software creates
