The drive writes to the disc, using the cue sheet information to generate the P and Q subchannel data, and to retrieve the format and block size of the data transferred with the '''WRITE''' command.

	This multiple file cue sheet, created by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Audio_Copy EAC (Exact Audio Copy)] software, has gaps appended to the previous track, and is a favorite among users who rip to track files but wish to retain gap information. This format allows the user to retain gaps, but in a position in the track file that does not hinder playback. Unfortunately, this format is non-compliant, so applications that adhere to the specification, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar2000 foobar2000] and ~~XBMC~~ Music, will not be able to read it. EAC software will obviously read these cue sheets, as will the AudioCD burning application [http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=6 Burrrn].
