I just happened to have the Sony CD Extreme manual up. Here are the instructions for doing it in the Sony/Prassi. Should be similar with EZCD:
Mixed Mode CDs were devised as a way to combine data and music tracks on the same
CD. A Mixed Mode CD is a Single-session CD with the first track being a data track,
and the other tracks on the disc being standard audio tracks. The downside to Mixed
Mode CDs is that some older CD players mistake the data track for an audio track and
try to play it, usually resulting in loud static or silence.
Making a Mixed Mode CD is a little complicated. It involves creating an image file to
hold the data first, then creating an audio CD with the first track being the image file
(for the data) and the remaining tracks as audio.
From the Tool Bar, click the New Data Disc button, or from the File pulldown menu
select New Job -> New Data Disc. From your keyboard you can also type Ctrl+D
to start a new data CD job.
Drag & Drop the files you want on the Mixed Mode CD into the Job Set-up
Window, or use the Add Folder or Add File buttons to add files and folders.
After you have added all the files and folders you want, right click your mouse in
the Job Set-up Window area. From the pop up menu, select Tools -> Build Track
Image. Save the track image.
Start a new audio CD job. From the Tool Bar, click the New Audio Disc button, or
from the File pulldown menu select New Job -> New Audio Disc. From your keyboard
you can also type Ctrl+A to start a new audio CD job.
Drag & Drop the Track Image file you created into the Job Set-up Window (the
track image will automatically be the first track.)
Drag & Drop MP3, .wav, and WMA files from your hard disk into the track list. You
can also add files by clicking on the Add Audio File button, or by using the A d d
With File Finder feature that will scan your hard drive for all MP3, .wav, and WMA
files. Click the R e f re s h button to re f resh the display if it doesnt update automatically.
The order in which the files are listed in the track list are the order they will play on
the finished CD. You can move songs up or down in the track list by selecting them
and then clicking on the Move Up The Selected Track and Move Down the
Selected Track buttons. You can delete tracks from the compilation by selecting the
tracks and clicking the Delete Selected Tracks button.
Your CD Recorder should automatically be selected as a Recorder (red arrow pointing
to it). Use the Select/Deselect as Recorder button on the tool bar to select the
proper recorder if you have more than one.
Once all the audio files and track have been added and edited as desired, select the
number of copies you would like to make from the selected Mixed Mode CD job.
Select the Speed for the recording (default is Max.)
You can choose to Test and Record (default), Test, or Record.
Insert a blank disc into the CD Recorder and click the red record button to start the
recording.
h. Creating a CD Extra (Enhanced CD)
CD Extra is another way of putting data and audio tracks on the same disc, but has a
distinct advantage over Mixed Mode discs. CD Extra is a Multi-session disc with the
audio tracks in the first session, and the data track in the second session. The advantage?
Consumer CD players like car decks and portable stereos will only recognize the
first session on a disc, so there is never a chance that the player will try and play the
data track as sometimes happens with Mixed Mode discs.
Like Mixed Mode, recording a CD Extra Disc is a two step process. The audio session is
recorded first and left open, and then the data session is recorded in Mode 2 XA and
the disc is closed.
Start a new audio CD job. From the Tool Bar, click the New Audio Disc button, or
from the File pulldown menu select New Job -> New Audio Disc. From your keyboard
you can also type Ctrl+A to start a new audio CD job.
Your CD Recorder should automatically be selected as a Recorder (red arrow pointing
to it). Use the Select/Deselect as Recorder button on the tool bar to select the
proper recorder if you have more than one.

Click the Recording Options button in the Job Set-up Window. Set the recording
mode to Disc-at-Once not closed (Session at Once).
Select the Speed for recording (default is Max.)
You can choose to Test and Record (default), Test, or Record.
Insert a blank disc into the recorder and click the red record button.
After the disc has recorded successfully, re-insert it into the recorder and start a new
Data CD job. From the Tool Bar, click the New Data Disc button, or from the File
pulldown menu select New Job -> New Data Disc. From your keyboard you can
also type Ctrl+D to start a new data CD job.
Drag & Drop the files you want on the CD Extra disc into the Job Set-up Window,
or use the Add Folder or Add File buttons to add files and folders.
Give the disc a Volume Label if you want (default is the date and time the disc was
created).
Click the Recording Options in the Job Set-up Window. Change the recording type
to Track-at-Once closed. Set the Mode to Mode 2 XA. Click OK to close the dialog
box.
