my bad, should have read more carefully.

k3b has a bunch of multisession stuff, under 'Project Properties', the
Settings tab, you can select no/start/continue/finish multisession
before you burn the disc.

most tools would default to no-multisession, so if youve already burnt
the cd like that then afaik theres nothing more you can do with it.

but ive never tried multisession, or udf, never seen the point, if your
going to want to reuse a disk buy a cdrw instead.
