Software Reviews of Roxio Toast 5 Titanium [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Ti is strong and attractive: and the Toaster burns too
Summary: 5 Stars
Earlier this year I purchased my first ever CD-RW. I had been planning this purchase for several years, but had not found a CD-RW model I really liked. The other problem was that I have a Mac G3-300, the old top of the line Graphics machine. Having found an iomega CD-RW for a good price I tried to use Virual PC and the enclosed software to ceate CD's. This did not work.Later that day I surfed worldwide for a solution to my problem. Roxio had a Titanium Toaster available and some good looking claims.It seemed like ages until the Toaster arrived in Sydney. It was the correct voltage and didn't explode as the 110v version might have. It has survived systems 8.x and 9.x with ease. Only the ATA 33 buses on my IDE drives slow it down. But the System and software are on the native SCSI drive.
The GUI is easy to learn; the manual is extensive, but somehow compact; the toaster's functionality is top class, allowing a wide variety of formats and uses; inbuilt test and saftey features abound. Overall its a worthwhile product to own, very fexible and above all easy to learn.
Make sure you always have at least two CD-RW's available for live system testing, building up potential CD-R's and other such tasks. CD-RW's can prove invaluable as a source of joy when CD-R's would otherwise have caused grief.
Don't expect miracles from your computer processor and busses, the cleanest recordings happen when internt connections, and preferrably LAN connections are not active. However, the LAN can sometimes ba a source of disk based information. (Don't use the Internet as a live source when burning toast, the Vegemite sticks to the keyboard.)
Disk based information transfers much more cleanly than CD-ROM based information - even with the two CD-drives on two different busses.
And get a copy of iTunes 2 (free from Apple) as this will help organise your ".mp3" files over time, it also allows file refernces to be used in the toaster when making CD's, saving disk space. The frisbee is alsways well burned or is that toasted?
Customer Review: what the..?

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.Customer Review: A lot for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with all this software has to offer. It is also very easy to use.I am transferring all my old records, cassetes, and open reel tapes using the Spin Doctor program.
It provides me with filters to clean up noise as well as enhancing filters that make great sound improvements
to my old analogue stuff.
It also is very easy to burn CD's and make cool labels for them. I got a good price from Amazon and a rebate which makes it an even better deal but if you pay full price it is still a bargain.
Some of the software included I haven't used yet so I won't comment.
Customer Review: You need this one if you're serious about burning CDs.

Two words: Bootable CD. You cannot burn a startup CD with Apple's Disc Burner. What else do I need to add?Customer Review: No hype - This product rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Toast is amazing! Its does everything that Apple's "free" software can't do. It can automatically turn photos or iMovies into Video CDs that are playable on DVD players. It can make data CDs that are readable on PCs or UNIX systems. It can convert LPs or cassette tapes into CDs and clean up all the noise hiss clicks and pops. It is AWESOME! The previous user who complained installed iTunes after Toast and iTunes messed everything up. If he would have installed Toast after iTunes, both products would work perfectly. Toast actually makes iTunes burn CDs faster!
