Can I Add More Songs to a CD I've Already Burned?

A while back, I burned some music onto a CD, but it's only half full. I'm wondering if I can burn the CD again to add a few more songs or if I need to start over with a new disc. Any advice?

Best bet is to use a CD-RW; those can be erased and reused. If it's a CD-R, you’ll need to start with a new one. Don’t forget about MP3 CDs if your car supports them!

You can only add more songs if it’s a re-writable disc. Most standard CDs get closed after the first burn, so make sure to check if yours is a CD-RW. Otherwise, you might have to start fresh with a new CD.

Why not give it a try? Worst case, it errors out, but you might be able to add more if it’s not finalized.

If the CD was finalized for standard players, then no, you can’t add more songs. But if it’s a re-writable CD, just pop it back in and burn what you need.

Honestly, just grab some more blank CDs. They're super cheap, and I've got heaps lying around that I don’t even use. Starting fresh might save you some headaches.
