I have a two-year old 21 1/2 inch iMac with Operating System OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I would like to burn my Finale files onto CDs. I looked in the Manual under "Audio and audio files" and found the sentence: "To burn audio files to a CD, follow the instructions included with your CD burning software to organic the files into tracks and burn them to a recordable CD."
I have no idea what that means. I don't know how to access by CD burning software. I've never tried to burn a CD before.
Help!!!
… I would like to burn my Finale files onto CDs …
It is not clear to me what you want to do.
Do you want to make backup copies of your Finale documents - on a CD data disc?
Do you want to create audio files from your Finale documents, and burn the audio files onto a CD music disc that you can play in a CD player?
Finale documents and audio files are two different things.
>I have no idea what that means.<
Following up on what Peter says, we're not sure what you mean.

The Mac OS has that ability built in (as long as you have a CD burner connected via USB or built-in). Use iTunes.

There are other ways but some are OS specific. Since OS 10.11, some methods such as Disk Utility, no longer work.
If you become a CD burnin' fool, you will get tired of using iTunes to make disks. Commercial apps such as Toast make the process fast and intuitive. Toast is available in the App Store but I prefer the standalone version (many resellers carry it for half off).
