Abstract
The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer instructions for indicating an end of a session. An identification of a session is received from a data structure containing a schedule. In response to receiving the identification of the session, an audio file is created on a storage medium. In the illustrative examples, the storage medium is an optical disc. A track is created for the optical disc on which the file is located. The audio file has a length equal to a length of the session. The audio file includes a silent segment followed by an audio segment. The audio segment provides an indication of the end of the session when encountered during playing of the audio file.
