One of the Japanese engineers on the list posted about getting this to work about a year ago. If I remember correctly, he also read audio format CD's as data, so you could eliminate the DAAD conversion. The full multisession spec, including their Unicode extensions, is available on the Microsoft Windows95 DDK CD. From what I remember, multiple sessions are *required* for Unicode encoding.
