What is finalizing and what does it do?
When you burn a CD-R, you have a choice to either burn the disc as an open session or a closed session. As an open session, you are able to add to the disc at a later time. However, open sessions discs cannot be played on an audio CD player. For playable audio, you need to close the disc, a process that is called “finalizing”. Once closed or finalized, you cannot add any more information to the disc. When you finalize, you are creating the table of contents within the lead in. The lead out is also created, thus closing the disc. You are also finalizing the disc when you use disc-at-once recording.
