Hi all,

I came across this special offer on a multimedia upgrade kit which is quite 
tempting, it is:

	Philips CM205 cd-rom drive (single speed, single session :-(
	Media-Vision Pro Audio Spectrum-16 sound card (non-scsi :-(

I know that with a single session drive one can't effectively use it for 
photo-cd usage. (or just once for that matter). While the photo-cd usage 
is not that important to me at this stage, I was wondering if the 
single-session would tie my hand for the usage of other new cd titles 
(software, games, tools, etc.).

The impression I get from some dealers is that multi-session is the way to go
since many new cd-titles require multi-session these days and this seems to
be the technical trend, therefore rendering single-sessions obsolete pretty
soon, is this so??

Any help/hint/clue/... is appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

	-Hamid
