It sounds like the cd is still mounted by your user. unmount the cd,
then you should be able to take it out. If you're using gnome/KDE you
should have a CD icon. Right click and choose unmount/eject, or from
the command line 'umount /path/to/cdrom'. The path to your cdrom will
most likely be /media/cdrecorder but it varies.
