Finalizing
Finalizing is the addition of TOC (recorded data information) to discs.
If you finalize a CD-R, it will become playable on other CD players.
Finalized CD-R discs cannot be used for additional recording.
If you finalize a CD-RW, it will become playable on other CD players
that are compatible with CD-RW discs
