Create a CD Extra Disc

CD Extra is the format where the first track recorded is an audio track and the second is a data track; opposite to Mixed-Mode. CD Extra was developed so that the audio section can also be played on an audio CD player, and the data section used on a PC. You must record twice to create a CD Extra disc, first the audio tracks, then the data track.
