Which CD-RW software for archival backup?

[wizz0bang]

Does anyone know of a utility that will do simple archival backup spanning multiple CD-R discs?

For instance, I have 6gb+ of mp3s I would like to backup onto CD-R. They are sorted into folders and sub folders. I would like a program that will span the CDs, filling each one and going to the next CD as needed until it's full. I have NERO and others that will do this, but in a compressed format. I want the files to be in a standard format (Iso/joilette) that will allow the files to be read and played directly from the disc. Then, if I want to do a full restore, all I have to do is copy all the discs to the same directory and voila! Doing this manually will take some time creating each disc, remembering where I left off, going onto the next one, etc...

I have been searching the web and zdnet with no luck. I've downloaded about half a dozen packages to do CD-RW backup, but they all use some kind of compression or scheme which prevents the files from being read.

Thanks!

Was gonna suggest Nero - but I didn't realize it compressed data for multi-session burns.
I've always backed up my mp3's manually to ensure I didn't lose any, etc.

Seems to me there is was a shareware or freeware program called Burn to the Brim that might be what you need. You should be able to find it with a web search. If I remember correctly, the purpose of the program was to copy a directory to multiple CDRs and fill a CDR to capacity before asking for another CD. Problem is, you might lose your directory structure as the program moves files around to get the most benefit of a CDR.
