With WinOnCD you can add data to a CDR using the multisession facility.
Assumed you have written a track in session 1, selecting the "multisession"
check box in the Write CD dialog box. Then you can later on write the next
session adding data to this track. The "Delete Files" and "Old Versions"
menu items should not be selected. The session written this way will contain
the previous data and the data which has been added or changed (if the
specific directories are selected for writing).
On a multisession capable CD-ROM you would usually see the last session written.

You can also write multivolume discs, but you would not be able to access
the second, third... session with a normal CD-ROM drive due to the fact that
this feature is not supported by the software drivers. The readback driver
supplied with the WinOnCD package allows to to access all volumes with the
CDD521. Thus, you could only use this in-house.

So, what in particular do you want to add to the CD-R?

best regards,
