CD-Extra Support

CD-Extra is a format that allows for the writing of both audio and data on a single CD, just like Mixed Mode CDs. When writing an audio CD, you can prepare it for CD-Extra support (also known as Enhanced CD or CD Plus).

The difference is that when Mixed Mode CDs are written with the audio placed on the last tracks of the CD, for CDs in the CD-Extra format the audio is contained in the first tracks of the CD, and the data follows subsequently.

All features of the Red Book audio CD are possible with CD-Extra, unlike with Mixed Mode CDs. After an audio CD has been written with CD-Extra support, the data can be added to the CD in a separate session, by creating and writing a data CD project.

Note

Some computer CD drives may not recognize CDs in the CD-Extra format.
