Oh...  (feeling slightly numbed, or larted, or both)

I can guess the Track At Once and Sector At Once.

so maybe I need to back up and ask some basics.

I have a pile of files in /home/foo/(and more directories).
I typically burn a local image in /tmp
Then use that image file to burn the cd (in DAO).
I know creating the image is best/safest.
But how does TAO/SAO differ? for data? for audio?

What's the PACKET and "R96P" modes mean?
