Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able
to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final
table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start
of the disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known
as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further
data can be written to the disk. See “Finalizing” on
page 25 for details.
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc
may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized
may be “unfinalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed.
This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc,
provided that there is space on the disc.
“Recordable” discs
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been
finalized, i.e. further recording is possible on the
disc.
