{ci le zgike cukla} really menas "three of the CDs", i.e. there
is a certain number of CDs under discussion, and we are
saying that koha made three of them.
{ko'a pu zbasu ci zgike cukla} means that he made three
CDs (out of all CDs that there are, there's no implicit restrictions).
That's by definition the same as {ko'a pu zbasu ci lo zgike cukla}.
{ko'a pu zbasu le ci zgike cukla} means that he made the
three CDs, i.e he made all of the three CDs under discussion.
In all cases we are talking about making the CDs out of plastic,
or whatever material they're made of. If you mean that he recorded
three CDs, then something like {rejgau} should be used.

Use {poi} instead of {pe} there. {poi} is for relative clauses,
{pe} is used to attach another sumti.
