Obviously I am an old windows user and was referring to how some CD-RWs I had were Direct CD formatted, which allowed me to drag and drop files onto a CD-RW. I thought this type of option might be available on the Mac, but, I figured out how to burn a multi session disc, so that will work me just fine.
Thanks for your help.
