No, but there is a way of doing what you actually want (which, believe me, isn't this). > I believe it is possible to write another track to a CD-R device later, as > long as the disk hasn't been fixated. I was just wondering if it was > possible to add a data track after adding audio tracks... What you want is a new session. You'll blow another 13MB opening an extra session, but as long as you can live with that, you're fine. A common way of doing what you want is like this: [session1: <track1> <track2>][session2: <track3>] Where track1 and track2 are audio and track3 is data. Most CD-ROM drives (1x and 4x don't--but for some reason almost all 2x did) support multisession CDs. That is, when you stick a disc like this in them, they will see the second (data) session (some drives will even let you switch sessions). No audio CD player that I know of will even be aware that the second session exists. It will just see the first session which is all audio tracks. > Is it otherwise possible to rip a specific track, but not making it an > audio track? i.e. suppose I write a data track to track 7, I'd like to rip > it back to the CD image it was...
