I read the manual for the Denon unit and it says that the discs need
to be finalised. How do I finalise a disk? Or do I need to get
special software to write audio CDs?
Thanks in advance.
finalised just means a "this is the end of the disk" flag has to be
written at the end of the burn for an audio CD player to play a CDr/w
- that said I've found a few CD players such as those based around CD
engines made for computer use such as car and portable players and a
few DVD players will actually play a non finalised audio disks -
though some will give error messages at near or at the end of playing
the last track burnt.
iTunes will finalise the disk - or at least it should and there is no
parameter I can find to turn such an option off in iTunes- put one
of the errant disks in to your burner - if you can put the disk in
your computers drive and successfully burn more data to it then it
hasn't finalised the disk.
try burning at a lower speed than "fastest"/"maximum". I find with
so called "premium audio disks" I have to burn them at 8 x or slower
else I get 10%+ failure rate but with el cheapo high speed disks
wack 'em out at up to 42x only having failures about 1 in 40 or less
disks
