Well, things are basically as I understood them. What I don't understand

the TOCs, and what different option selections I need to make in order
that this not happen again.
Other than trying each of the four combinations of those two options,
what should I do in order to understand what is going on? I have read
the web site, but this level of detail is not covered.
Perhaps I need to send an e-mail to the author. I just thought that
someone here might be well-acquainted with xcdroast.

I understand the problem and this is an area that takes some learning.
I actually made a mistake in one of my posts about fixation. I had
it confused with finalization. If a disk is finalized, it cannot be
used as a multisession. Fixation is what writes the TOC.

As I have had problems in the past with multi-session CD's, I decided
to take some extra time to look into this as well.
I found this link to be informative.

It has this about X-CDroast.
This is easiest with X-CdRoast which can perform the necessary
calculations but it can also be done via the command line.
And this is a direct link on how to make multisession CD's with X-CDroast.

It points to a step to load the previous session image. Did you do this?
I think it is time to experiment. I use K3B myself.
It is a good day. I learned something new.
Why I like this forum.
