Audio CD

[Rincewind]

When I am burning a DVD-ROM data disc or DVD-Video disc during the end of the process I always see the two crucial bits on the log: Closing Track and Finalizing Disc...

 

What I noticed however is when I burn an Audio CD, it doesn't do that. Did I miss an option somewhere? I looked in the settings area, but may have overlooked it somehow?

 

Or does it still carry out these two final phases of burning and just doesn't bother to tell you when burning audio CDs?

The program only has to issue those commands for certain types of media.

 

Needless to say, they're not required for CD.
