I haven't tried to track this answer down in a while, so...Someone gave me a master cassette to CD-R copy of a show. The mast no longer exists, nor can other sources be located. The CD-R was on a standalone unit and was not "finalized" during burning. So I can see that data is burned to it, but I cannot read it. I do not know what standalone unit was used, nor do we have access to that unit anymore.
Any solutions to get the audio off of the disk?
Thanks!

you should be able to put it into a pro CD recorder like a Tascam or HHB and finalize it

OK. Thanks. Do you happen to have access to one of those? I don't.

Or try another drive, maybe a specific CD Burner. My LG drive can access unfinished CD-R too (needed this once). But no warranty, looked like it´s a lucky shot of drive, disc and burn software to read out the disc.

A 45 second Google indicates that many people use Isobuster to read unfinalised CDs
No personal experience myself, but maybe it will work.

I'll try running that in a VM. Thank for the tip...I've had the discs for years, and hadn't circled back to Google as a primary source.
Thanks,
