Finalizing CD-R & CD-RW discs
Finalizing is necessary to:
- be able to play the recorded CD-R/RW disc on a CD
PLAYER.
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc.
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CD-RW.
Notes:
- A finalized CD-R disc can never be recorded onto again.
- A finalized CD-RW disc can be unfinalized for continued re-
cording.
- Finalizing is the process of writing the TOC (Table of Con-
tents) on a disc so that a CD player can recognize the con-
tents of the disc.
