CDR and CDRW discs.

how do I finalise a recording , nobody has posted a solution , so the answer is press the record button

What you're looking for are CDR-Digital Audio or CDR-Music CD's. They're very commonly available if you Google them or try eBay - where I buy mine.

search for these keywords - CDR audio media australia

I found several listings for LG CDR-A media in large bulk quantities - 100 or 200 for $30-32 plus shipping (unknown). They also have smaller quantities for sale if you just want to buy a few to test.

I am 99% certain that it will only work with 'audio' discs. This is the case with my Philips CDR-796 and as far as I am aware applies to all consumer CD recorders.

Hope this helps
