No! once you have written the lead out and
(closed the session) that is it! you cannot add more.
Next time you think you might want to add to a disc leave the session open (this is just a matter of checking the correct box in burn options) Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.

It also depends on the software used to burn the cd's. Some will allow you to add more to a cd-r. I do it all the time...weeks even months after burning the original cd.
WAIT A SECOND!!
Sorry paparazi, I think you are getting "closing session" confused with "closing disc". You can write multiple sessions to a CDR. If you close a session, you should be able to add another later. The problem huronbay is probably having is that they're closing the disc. Once you close the disc, then you've sealed off the TOC (table of contents) and it won't allow you to write anything else.
Hope that helps...

Here's the deal...
If you leave a session open, only CDRW drives are going to be able to read it. Once you close the session, any CDROM drive should be able to read it.
If you write multiple sessions to one cd, then any CDROM drive should be able to read them (though some 16X and older CDROM drives may not).
Do not ever attempt to make multiple sessions when creating music cd's. If you do, your car or stereo cd player at home will only see the first session.
Does that clear it up for everyone???
