Roxio 242700 TOAST 10 TITANIUM PRO FOR MAC

I was extremely disappointed when I tried Toast 10. I thought there would be some improvements, but it's just completely useless!Of all the Toast versions, Toast 7 STILL gets the highest ratings on Amazon. Here is why I still use it every time after all these years...1. Toast 10 just starts Exporting ALL THE SONGS (to fill up your hard drive with songs you don't want), and way too fast for good quality. With Toast 7 you just: Insert a CD, drag it to the Toast window, and then CHOOSE THE SONGS you want to Export, and then choose High Quality.2. The reason I tried Toast 10 was that I needed to Export from one Super CD at 24/96, but there are NO options for quality or bitrates on Toast 10 AT ALL!! The Toast 10 User Manual does not mention Exporting either. With Toast 7 you can Export music from a CD at any bit or rate you chose, up to 64 kHz/64 Bits.3. Toast 7 makes perfect CDs every time. I literally have NOT ended up with a "coaster" since about three computers ago, over 10 years ago. I do use good blanks, but every blank I have tried has burned perfectly.4. With Toast 7 you can EASILY change the space between tracks from 0 to 8 seconds. Zero seconds between tracks is essential for concept albums... Everything from Pink Floyd's the Wall to Disney's Alice In Wonderland Soundtrack, plus Classical Symphonies and Piano Concertos, and a few Tomita CDs, etc...5. Toast 7 still works perfectly with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 which is the BEST Mac OS ever... Snow Leopard is Lean and Powerful and able to run many older programs that the newer Mac Operating Systems cannot run. When I am required to install Mavericks to sync my new iPhone 5, I am going to partition a new hard drive to boot from both Snow Leopard AND Mavericks. There's just too many things about Mavericks that are not cool, and too many things about Snow Leopard that are still essential!!6. Toast 7 worked perfectly on my iMac G5 running Tiger. And it works perfectly on my 2008 Mac Pro running Snow Leopard.

I replaced my Toast 8 with Toast 10 Titanium Pro. I removed all traces (including plist) of 8 and had no problems installing or running 10. I love the new feature of CD Spin Doctor that lets you capture audio that's streamed to the Mac. You can buy separate programs to do that, but they are $35 or more. And SoundSoap, which alone would cost $99, is truly amazing. I digitized a horribly scratched LP (which is not out on CD) and it cleaned up and sounds like new. My hearty recommendation.
