Summary: ripped off
Review: I bought toast 5 to burn my vinyl onto CD.
It came with SpinDoctor.
I was promised a FREE upgrade to OSX. When I upgraded my OS, I went to download the upgrade. Though Toast 5 could be upgraded, Spin Doctor was not available. After weeks of waiting, I got a response from Roxio saying that SpinDoctor was no longer available from them. I wrote several letters. They offered no remedy, just kept me waiting, but oh yes, they would be happy to SELL me a copy of Toast 6 with the new component that replaces SpinDoctor and is OSX compatible. Boy do I feel ripped off. Toast worked great, but I will never trust Roxio again. I certainly don't want to give them any more money.

Summary: hella good
Review: I bought Toast Titanium so I could record LP records and cassette tapes to CD. Spin Doctor has turned out to be an extremely poor application.It will not allow me to turn down the recording volume enough to prevent distortion. The application crashes constantly while I'm setting up beginnings and endpoints of the digitized music. Roxio support told me to delete a file which did not help. With Mac OSX 10.2.3 you can not listen to the music as you digitize it. Roxio support says this is due to Mac going to OSX and that they have no plans to fix it. There is no "help" icon. If information is not addressed in the hard copy instructions you are out of luck. This appears to be a quick and dirty application for OS9 that doesn't function well with OSX 10.2.* or later. Spin Doctor was the entire reason that I bought Toast and frankly iTunes (V3) is easier to use than toast when it comes to organizing and using music.

Summary: Keeps getting better
Review: I have been using toast for three years now and this version is the best yet. Recently, I burned a cd copied tracks from another cd, Aiff and mp3 files from my hard drive. Toast didn't miss a beat and all played great in my car stereo. I was able to do this in the background while surfing the Web. I can't think of another program I own that I am so pleased with.

Summary: what the..?
Review: I have had nothing but problems with this software since purchasing it several months ago. Sometimes (rarely) it will perform, other times it just freezes up or refuses to burn a CD. I have wasted countless hours and numerous CDs that failed to be written, not to mention hours on the phone ($$$$) to technical support, all to no avail. Unless you enjoy frustration and throwing away a lot of money for absolutely no end result, I would suggest buying anything but Toast.

Summary: SIZZLING BURNER
Review: I just bought a Mac G4 and it came with a burner, but the only way to burn things is through itunes, which is OK, but toast towers the competion with it's old style jukebox graphics and it user friendly file formatting. It also comes with a cd labeler for your discs. I like the fact too that you can burn stuff in the background while other programs are open. Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone this when you get it, especially for work. This would ruin the chance for a break. Titanium Toast is the best and most diverse program I've seen. I highly recommend it. ....

Summary: Essential tool for your Mac
Review: I used my new iMac with superdrive for almost four months before I discovered this program. It took a bit of research for me to learn why I needed this program when OS X comes with its own built in CD/DVD burn software. If all you need to do is burn discs for backup and make music CDs and DVDs - you don't need Toast. However, if you want to make PC-compatible DVDs or CDs or want to burn DVD-R's that will play in a DVD player without using the iDVD application, then you need Toast.Basically anything I have wanted to do with a CD/DVD burner, this sofware supported it. I had no problems with install and it has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The user interface is highly intutive and I have not had to crack open the help more than once. Highly recommended.

Summary: Wow what a product.
Review: I used the software that came with my burner and it was so poor. It would only let me burn at low speeds even though mine is a really fast burner. It would freeze every time I tried to burn a data CD. It would only let me burn 50 min on a 80min CD. So I finnaly broke down and bought the upgrade......... I'ts wonderfull!!!!! It doesn't have any of the old bugs. It doesn't freeze, and I can use CDs to their full potential. Best of all it looks so neat! My best freind, who has a Window based computer, saw how the program looks and was asounded. I'm glad I bought it.

Summary: Over-hyped.
Review: I was convinced I had to have this product, so I ordered it, only to encounter all sorts of compatibility problems with Apple's nifty iTunes software (free). After getting much earnest advice about creating different extension folders, disabling certain authorizations, etc., etc., I asked myself what this program does that iTunes doesn't. Practically nothing, except for cleaning up surface noise on 78's, and should I get to that point, I'll download a free little software program called "Coaster." In short, if you have iTunes, save yourself the money and confusion. iTunes will not only arrange your CD library but duplicate it, not to mention encode, convert, and burn your MP-3s and AIFFs. Wish I'd used the money to replace the broken toaster in the kitchen.

Summary: Great software even if it does cost money.
Review: I won a "pc only" cdrw and was a little frustrated due the fact that it was from a mac contest. I got a copy of Toast Titanium and it was able to recognize even this unsupported cdrw and it works great. Best features are backgound burning. You can actually use other applications while your cd burns. The latest update at the Roxio site supports CD text. So the song title will appear in the window of your CD player if you have that feature. The manual is good and explains how to burn a bootable CD and a CD that will be recognized by a PC. You also get CD SpinDoctor in the deal this will let you record tapes, vinyl, or anything else you plug into the audio in with the cord that is included in the box. If you update to the latest version of Toast Titanium you will have to update CD SpinDoctor, too (or it will break). There's a CD label software include as well. Summary: Easy to use, good manual, background burning, CD text support. CD copy button to make copying really easy.
