various, several sessions

This means the unit can only play the last session recorded on disc, although the disc may contain more than one session, recorded at different times.

I know it because I have an old CD drive that can only read the last session recorded on a data CD.

In your case, the DEFAULT session is the LAST session that was recorded.

recorded in several 'goes'

It means that a CD cannot be recorded in several different 'goes' or 'sessions', but must be recorded all at once; if not, later added recordings will not be able to be played.

Most modern CD burners and software do now support multi-session, allowing you to keep on adding new recordings until the CD is full.

Of course, exactly as Henrique said --- I just wanted to add a little extra explanation of my own!
