Did I miss something? Can I burn CDs in X?
Just out of curiosity if there is software available for X to burn CDs.
I have toast titanium on my OS 9 section thing, I can't find an upgrade to X, and iTunes still won't burn jack **** .
I have been out of it for a while so maybe something was released and I am an idiot in the past. Can someone "throw me a frikin bone here"

As for iTunes and the Finder's disc burner, yeah, I'll have to agree that they suck.

I've also burned a ton of data CDs from the finder with Apple's Disk Burner. Again, nothing but success and usable CDs.
Toast is a lot more flexible though.

I am running 1.15 and still find burner support spotty. Sometimes Toast will work, other times it doesn't see the drive. Discribe works, but it is a dog. Nero doesn't work, currently.
So I am in the same boat. I love toast, I have it working at work, so I am going to keep experimenting.

YOU GUYS CAN BURN IN iTunes?
Last time I posted(months ago) someone said apple hand't fixed that feature in iTunes.
SO what do I need? I press burn CD and it says Burner or CD software not found.
Is it because I have a Que drive? Or am I missing something! PLEASE TELL ME!

Here's what's frustrating: a buddy of mine bought a LaCie 32x FireWire CD-RW drive (we bought it at the Orange County Apple Store, and even stood there and looked at the web page above to make sure her choice was supported by Apple, iTunes, DiskBurn, etc. It was! We even confirmed it with two employees).
Anyway, she's not been able to burn a CD at more than 8x. She's totally up-to-date (10.1.5) and everything. A shame, because she could've just saved some money and bought an 8x FireWire drive to begin with, or even a 16x.
Today I quickly burned 2 small movies (total space used around 15MB) using the finder, and as far as I can tell that's it - the rest of the space on the disc is now unusable.
Would Toast and others allow further burning?
Cheers!

PS I'd echo that with all the iTunes and Finder burns I've done I've never had a failed one yet.

[qb]The problem I have with both iTunes and Finder burner is lack of multiple sessions.

Toast does allow multi-session burns with the right hardware.
For example, the superdrive can not create multi-session DVD's (although I have found PC utilities that can do this). But, with most normal CDR burners, multi session CDs are no problem with Toast.

My 24x Que drive works, but I've heard some people say that theirs don't.
if not, what iss a cheap burner you guys can rcommend that works with OS X?
<strong>The problem with iTunes/Disc Burner is that you can't make direct copies (for backup )</strong><hr></blockquote>
i thought you could always use disk copy to make an image, save it as an uncompressed cdr/dvd master and bob's yer uncle ...
i know it doesn't work for backing up some mixed-mode cds but at least it is an option
toast titanium all the way for me though ... and astarte cd-copy to dupe any stubborn discs
Are you saying that I can burn a multisession CDR using finder or Itunes ? Or do I need toast for that ? or is it that the superdrive cannot support multisession dvd's or CDRs ?

um, yes and no.
multi-volume - many cd icons on desktop can be done... see <a href="http://www.sentman.com/burner/" target="_blank">CD Session burner for OS X</a>
multi-session - one cd icon (updated content in directories) usually requires commercial app (Toast is probably king, long history of strong mac dev, Diskribe comes from peecee land and ain't toast yet)
OS X bootable - [i]"Rock Ridge Extensions" are available (Toast Titanium 5.1.x for X) and i think versiontracker noted some 3rd party authoring tools recently...

multi-session dvd's? see <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article2.html?artnum=42718" target="_blank">SuperDrive can use DVD-RW discs but cannot use DVD+RW or DVD-RAM discs</a>
but of course if you can wait...
panasonic just introduced the "Superdrive II" which will burn even MORE ways. see the press release (can't find the url with pic i spotted when i first heard this, sorry)

happy burning
hope this helps
I think its available on sf.net, else try google.com. There are front-end's on sf.net too. They often don't include cdrecord, so make sure you know what ur getting. Also, i should note, that cdrecord is a command line tool. many of the front ends (GUIs) require x windows, so beware.
