Toast 4 Deluxe

Summary: Read the manual!
Review: Not only will this software do much morethan I need, it does it so simply that it defies logic! The one time I had difficulty (setting up the software to run my burner) I called Adaptec - yes, I waited on hold for a while, but they were gracious and assisted me in looking up the fix for my problem in the manual! Anyone who needs to call should read first! As for the website, well, I found it easy to navigate and find what I was looking for. I simply cannot believe that people cannot figure this program out the first time through - all they need is a bit of patience and twenty minutes to read the manual before setting up! I am Adaptec for life!

Summary: A MUST FOR MAC CD BURNERS
Review: This is by far the best cd burning program I have used. It takes care of everything Mp3, Disc copy, and is very easy to use. You can even hook up turntables & tape deck and convert that to CD format. And the cable to do it with is included. If you have a burner and dont have Toast 4 Deluxe, BUY IT!

Summary: This is the easy way
Review: This is the way it ought to be. Drag your audio file on Toast and you're burning an audio CD. The only improvement that could possibly be made would be the addition of crossfading ability. Otherwise, it'll practically do anything you want with simple drag & drop! Since it easily copies mp3 and complete compact discs, you now have the unbridled option of ripping off all the musicians you love so much. Computer nerds will also love the fact that it will burn data CDs, copy your hard drive, even create hybrid CD! You'll also be able to copy your favorite video games and programs on them, giving you the unbridled option of ripping off the software makers you love so much. Other than giving you the option to be a criminal, this software is absolutely the best.

Summary: Does the Job
Review: Toast does a great job burning just about any kind of sound file you could want onto CDs. After mastering the program, it is a no brainer and very straightforward. Buy CD-Rs in bulk -- packs of ten will not be enough once you start burning fever! The excellent manual is delivered in pdf format which I found difficult to manage when learning the program, so I had to print big chunks out.

However, as another reviewer mentioned, Adaptec has TERRIBLE customer support, a worse web page, and they intentionally make it difficult (or impossible) to contact them.

So, be aware that this is a very fine progam and I think the only thing like it currently on the market. But if you need any help, call your mother.

Summary: No Customer Support
Review: Toast is a good program for burning CDs, but if you can't do it all yourself, watch out. The Adaptec customer service is terrible. Not only do they not have a toll free number, but I've been on hold over an hour and had no response. If you're a computer genius, enjoy. But if you'll have questions, it looks like you're on your own.
