Glossary Recordable CD / Term

Close disk

To "close" a recordable disk so that no further data can be written to it. This is done when the last session 's lead-in is written - the next writeable address is not recorded in that lead-in, so the CD recorder in subsequent attempts to write has no way of knowing where to begin writing. It is NOT necessary to close a disk in order to read it in a normal CD-ROM drive.
