Each second can contain 75 sectors, each of which

are capable of holding 2,048 bytes of Mode 1 user

data.

By using the CD Size command in the edit menu, you

can set the capacity of the set you wish to

produce, which will help you to prevent exceeding

work is a bit more complex. Give it some time,

and you'll be copying files to CD like the pros
