Burning,actually copying rather than burning, on the fly means that the
original is being read and the parts of it are being copied to the blank at
the same time.

         I think I have a basic understanding of the term "on the fly", but
what exactly does it mean in this circumstance?  I have a cd burning studio
on my puter that allows me to burn a cd on the fly, but I have no idea what
that means.  What's the difference twixt burning it normally or on the fly?
Won't they both do the same thing and you still have to wait the full 20
minutes for it to finish?
