E_IMAPI_DF2TAO_TRACK_LIMIT_REACHED

E_IMAPI_DF2TAO_TRACK_LIMIT_REACHED is returned when another AddAudioTrack would exceed the CD-R/CD-RW maximum of 99 audio tracks. Microsoft documents track numbering from 1 through 99 for the Track-at-Once writer.

Count existing and newly added tracks before writing the next stream

  • Read NumberOfExistingTracks after preparing the medium.
  • Track each successful AddAudioTrack; a failed track does not become a completed track.
  • If the source contains more than 99 clips, decide whether some should be combined into one audio track before burning.

This error is independent of free sectors. A disc can have enough byte/sector capacity for more audio and still be unable to represent track number 100. Conversely, a disc can hit NOT_ENOUGH_SPACE with far fewer than 99 tracks. Keep the track-count budget and sector-capacity budget as two separate preflight checks.
