I have .m4a files on a CD-R and want to erase them. I tried selecting individually and then selecting all, then pressing delete and apple+delete. Neither worked.

Once you burn information onto a CD-R it is permanent. However, some CD-R burning programs will allow you to delete information but only if you haven't "finalized" the disc. Run your CD burning program and see if you can delete it there. One word of caution though, this deletion does not give you back any space on the CD-R, it only marks it so that the file cannot be accessed.

You can't erase burned data on a CD-R, it's there permanently.
And with CD-RW discs you can't selectively delete things either, the whole disk would likely have to be burned through.

first, its a CD-R, not a CD-RW
a CD-R, you burn something to it, you can delete the files, but it completely wipes the disk, and it can not be reused. you can't burn anything to it if you delete the files, or if its a closed disk
you would have to have a CD-RW to be able to delete the files and reuse the disk.

You can't erase files on a CD-R, only on CD-RW's.
