Description: Usually you cannot burn to a DVD more than once or burn to a CD more than once without creating a volume for each session burned. With BurnAgain FS you can do both. And even more: BurnAgain FS lets you change the content of your data CD or DVD simply using the Finder. With BurnAgain FS you can re-mount your disk like a harddisk volume and add files, remove files, even edit and change files several times. When finished, simply click "close" to burn your changes to the media. You can do this with CDR, CDRW, DVD+RW and DVD-RW, without erasing, until the disk is full. And you can even change the title of your disk prior to each burn. Disks burned with BurnAgain FS are readable without additional software on all platforms. BurnAgain FS automatically preserves your special Mac file attributes (resource forks) as well.
