cdrdao nagrywa dane lub ścieżki dźwiękowe na płyty CD-R w trybie Disk-At-Once (DAO), bazując na tekstowym opisie zawartości CD.

Nagrywanie w trybie Disk-At-Once zapisuje cały dysk, tzn. obszar lead-in, jedną lub więcej ścieżek i lead-out w jednym kroku. Często używany tryb Track-At-Once (TAO) zapisuje ścieżki niezależnie, co wymaga powiązania bloków pomiędzy dwoma ścieżkami. Dobrym przykładem użycia tej metody jest kopiowanie płyty CD z wieloma ścieżkami np. większości płyt audio.

cdrdao może obsłużyć format bin/cue, często używany do VCD lub płyt z danymi subkanałowymi.

Do nagrania zwykłej płyty CD z danymi, lepszym wyborem będzie prawdopodobnie użycie programu wodim.
