Amazon.co.uk Review
The days of the simple CD-burning utility are seemingly over, and in the case of Roxio's Toast 5 Titanium, it's a good thing. Lately we've been seeing CD-burning software that attempts to do everything but clean the kitchen sink, with varying levels of success. In the case of Toast 5, the proverbial sink is spotless. Plenty of useful features like CD labelling, audio extraction, and data storage provide meat-and-potatoes satiation. The ability to remove hiss and crackle from old LPs, and Toast 5's new OS X-influenced interface , is like the cherry on top of the dessert. And, of course, the bread-and-butter feature is Toast 5's delicious burning options. Roxio has kept the functionality of its drag-and-drop window intact from the previous version, only now the design is reminiscent of a funky 1950s diner jukebox . The window is resizable, with simple buttons specifying the type of CD you wish to burn. Click audio, data, copy, or other, and the button turns blue. Pop a blank CD-ROM into your drive, drag your files into the window, hit that big red glowing record button in the corner, and you're cooking. Toast 5 continues to support all major CD formats (like the previous version), and additional formats including MP3, Mac/ISO hybrid, and VideoCD (playable on many DVD players). If that was all there is to this package, we'd be done right here, satisfied, and ready for a nap. But, as we've mentioned, Roxio has loaded plenty of goodies onto the Toast 5 CD-ROM, some of them frivolous and fattening, (isn't that what goodies are for?) some of them extremely useful sides. We particularly like iView Multimedia, which lets you catalogue all your images, building a thumbnail library for easy organization and retrieval. Also cool is CD Spin Doctor. Although we love our vinyl, we've yet to see a device that will play records in the car. CD Spin Doctor is a simple application that will digitize and create a waveform of your old LPs and cassettes, then let you add simple filters to improve th e audio. Remove hiss, clicks, and pops, and then burn the result to audio CD. There's plenty more on the table. Magic Mouse Discus is a basic labelling kit for your CDs. Or you can export included templates to Freehand 9, AppleWorks, or Quark for more complex graphic design for your labels. New in Toast 5 is the useful background burning capability, allowing you to work in other applications while Toast 5 is cooking up your discs. Make sure you have plenty of RAM for this function. You even get folders filled with excellent digital photographs and free music from popular groups and musicians. We could go on listing savoury features, yet will contain ourselves and simply admonish the Macintosh users among you: There's no reason not to buy Toast 5 Titanium. It's a well-balanced, nutritious software program that will slake your ravenous hunger. --John Bosch

CD burning made easy! November 8, 2001

After falling out with the original version of disc burner and not liking the long wait with Toast 4 we finally splashed out on Toast Titanium - and haven't looked back! From the friendly appearance and ease of use to the reliability this is a joy to use. Drag and drop, a wide range of options presented as nice pictures - how much more mac-like do you want? And when you want to burn the CD you can do other stuff while it burns in the background, even with a slow, tired USB burner. If you haven't got it, why not?! Now to try it under OS X !!!!!!!

I'm a true osx fan, the CD burning software, like most thinks mac is amazing in design, but basic.
Toast is a great utility which enables you to burn CD whilst multi-tasking, the software uses it's own burn proof system. I have not had any failed disks, It's worth it if you make any disk copies, but otherwise I would stick to osx's own software.
Toast Titanium V5 March 27, 2004

This is a good platform for nearly everything. I am running OSX 10.2.8,
The one thiung is it says disc burning not supported, After looking I downloaded an upgrade, 5.2.1 and disc burning is still not supported
So I may need to purchase V6 which is made to support OSX and it may convert it to disc burning supported and make the 'c' key on my keycoard function.
