Activate Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and enter multisession into
the query box. You should get enough information to answer your question.

Rich, I only get info on burning the CDs. It doesn't explain why I don't get
multisessions/volumes when I insert the CD back into the Mac.

Have you clicked "Close Session" in Toast in Recorder Settings>Advanced? If
so you can only write once. Unclicked will allow you to write until full.
Each session of a multi session disc on a Mac will show up on the desktop as
a separate icon as if they were multiple volumes even though physically it's
one disc. XP doesn't handle multi session in the same way it just shows all
the sessions as if they were one volume.

I'm not sure why you would only see the last session on a Mac if it was
burned on a Mac. It doesn't do this for me. Did you burn the multi session
disc on a Mac or PC? If it was burned on a PC it might not read all the
sessions but only the last one. Multi session discs that I burn on a Mac
only read the last session on XP. I know on the Windows side that a lot of
the burning software makes discs that only work right when you've got their
software installed. Nero multi session discs only work with Nero not Easy CD
creator or NTI and vice versa.

Hope this helps

Richard

Richard,
I found the advanced section in Toast and tried the session button. I still
only see the last session/ volume when I insert the CD after recording. I can
see the other tracks, if I pull up Disc info.... but I can't copy or view them
in the Finder.

In Toast 6 for OS X, Menu/Recorder/Recorder Settings/Advanced there  
are the options to "Write Disk" or "Write Session".

Mine seems to default to Write Disk so I have to go there and select  
Write Session (almost) every time. When a multi-session disk is  
inserted, each session then shows in the Finder as a mounted CD with  
it's own title/label (that I'd have given it earlier at it's session.)
