It is a pain to create multi-session CD's using OS X's included software. 
 I could tell you how, but it is much easier just to use the free utility 
BurnX Free. 

BurnX Free has several useful features that Apple's built-in CD-burning 
software does not offer, or that aren't implemented well.  BurnX can burn 
CDs in a hybrid format for cross-platform compatibility and it can also 
erase CD-RW media. It supports multiple session burning and drag-and-drop 
of files and folders for burning. BurnX Free is free for Mac OS X 10.2.3 
and up.
