After recently going thru some boxes of mine, I found several CD's/DVD's that are NOT marked. Is there a safe way to see what may or may not be on them? TIA.
Are my CD's empty or not?

You can flip the CD over and after a burn the amount of data burnt usually shows up lighter than the disc itself.
Similar to the picture below, which shows a disc with data on it. About 3/4 full.
The outer area shows the area of disc not written to.
Obviously to find out exactly WHAT is on them you'll have to put them in a drive in your machine lol
Hope this helps

Use NeroInfoTool. It'll tell ya if your disc is empty or not plus a whole lot more about the disc player as well. The left thumbnail shows drive info including capabilities and firmware level. Rt thumbnail shows there's a blank disc inserted at the moment
