That's called 'closing' the CD by other cd-burning software programs. You *must* do it if you want to be able to use the disc on a home cd-player, for example. > And: I use a Sony CRX120E for burning.

I've only had problems with Fuji(film) brand blanks. One thing you'll discover is that very, very few companies make blank CDs. When you buy a set of Maxell, a set of TDK, and a set of Imations, they may in fact be the same blanks or at least made my the same manufacturer and be of similar 'design'. Hint: Use cdrecord's 'atip info' flag to get info about the blank disc. > My Diskman (also a Sony) have very much problems > to read any burned CD.

Try it and see if it works then. Also, some cd-players simply cannot read CD-R and/or CD-RW discs. My brother-in-laws home DVD/CD player, made by Sony, won't play CD-Rs. Hall
