Can anyone recommend any MAC software that can successfully recover audio=20
data from an unfinalized CD-R?=A0 Here are the details which may clarify wha=
t I'm=20
trying to accomplish:

I recently mastered a show onto CD-R using a Tascam CD-RW700.=A0 The first d=
isc=20
was fine, but when I went to finalize the 2nd disc, it would not finalize an=
d=20
displayed a "Repair" error message on the Tascam's display.=A0 The disc also=
=20
froze the Tascam into this "repair" mode, making it impossible to power it d=
own=20
or eject the disc.=A0 I could unplug the unit, power it back up and eject th=
e=20
disc and the unit worked perfectly once the disc was ejected.

I've also tried finalizing it on 2 other Tascam units, but the exact same=20
thing happened.=A0 Also tried finalizing in an old Phillips standalone, but=20=
that=20
unit would not recognize the disc at all.=A0 The disc is also not recognized=
 in=20
any of my MAC computer drives.=A0 I've tried it on 3 different MAC drives bu=
t none=20
recognized it.=A0

I can look at the disc itself and see that data was indeed written on it, so=
=20
the disc is not blank.=A0 Is there any way to extract that audio data from t=
his=20
unfinalized CD-R so that I can burn it to another disc?=A0

Any suggestions welcome.=A0=A0=A0 Alan<BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>A Good C=
