Once you have started the burn process, the screen will display a list of tracks to be written to the CD with the status of each. Each file will either have, pending, writing to disc, or complete alongside it. A green progress bar is displayed next to the track that is currently being written to CD which also gives you the progress as a percentage.

If you need to stop the burn process for any reason then click on the Stop Burn icon to cease writing to the CD.

Once the audio CD has been created, the CD tray will automatically eject the disc; this can be turned off by clicking on the small down-arrow icon underneath the burn tab and de-selecting Eject Disc After Burning.
