Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an M P 3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered.

• The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.
