Each month I get updates on lists from an organization. My plan was to add on a monthly basis to a CD. I have a printoff from Apple saying it can be done if I Leave appendage open on CD. I have now been told that it cannot be done wihtout erasing and then adding everything again. Using MAc 10.3.9
Can anyone assist?
Thanks

It should work, try it.

NOTE: This actually is done on CD-R media, though CD-RW media will work as well. With CD-RW, you can, in theory, wipe the disk and write new files. CD-R media can be written once, though in multiple sessions. Maybe you should use CD-R media for this, it's cheaper..
 
CD-R, aka CD-Recordable, cannot be erased, but you can add more to them if you leave them appendable. Here's an example of some.

CD-RWs can, in theory, be erased and re-written, but such functionality is not really supported in OS X. Here's some CD-RWs. They cost about twice as much as a CD-R.

There's actually two kinds of CD Recordable media. CD-R and CD+R. To find what you can use, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your Mac, then select "About this Mac". In the window that comes up, press "More Info...". In that window, look at the list in the "Hardware" drop down menu, and select "Disk Burning". See what it says in the "CD Write" section. For me, it says "CD-R, CD-RW". This means I can burn CD-R and CD-RW media, but NOT CD+R or CD+RW media.
