The recorder automatically copies at double speed, so if you're
listening to the recording as it's being made it will sound a little
strange!
After copying, the recorder will finalize the CD-R to make it
playable on most ordinary CD players (see What's finalization
below). This process takes just a couple of minutes after the CD
has been copied.

What's finalization?
Finalizing a disc means fixing the contents in place by creating
what's called a table of contents, or TOC for short, at the beginning
of the disc. This tells a CD player what's on the disc -- the number
of tracks and the length of each one. Once a TOC has been recorded
onto a CD-R disc, almost any ordinary CD player will play the disc.
It's also possible to finalize CD-RW discs, but even after finalization,
most ordinary CD players will not play these discs.
