What Customers Say About Roxio Toast 8 Titanium (Mac) [OLD VERSION]:

I bought this as a gift for my dad. I guess he liked it so I'll give it a good review.Honestly, I only bought it because he was afraid to download it from the internet for free. He never listens when I have an idea.

I'm going to put this one on ebay and try one of the other programs - one that has a manual that explains the process and has an intuitive feel.Regarding the rebate: I bought the program 10 months ago and sent in for the rebate promptly. The manual that comes with Toast tells you that if you want any information on Spin Doctor, click the help menu. Spin Doctor comes in the same box, on the same disc with Toast but it is a stand alone program. Believe what everyone says about the rebate. It's very time consuming. The rebate is a farce just like the manual, the help screens, and customer support.

The problem is that Toast is Toast and not Spin Doctor. You have to surf through all the questions to find your answer. Spin Doctor gets the same support in the help screens that it gets in the manual - none. I have yet to figure out how to combine the two sides of an LP recorded at separate times, into one album, or how to delete the two sides and start over. All I wanted was to put my LP's on the computer. It takes some poking around to figure out the filters and defining the tracks is clumsy, especially with a live album as you have to break the tracks visually by the sound waves graph, without being able to listen to it while you work on it. In case you're wondering, you will need to record all your tracks in real time and manually add the track names and other tags such as genre.

Once you record the LP in Spin Doctor you will need to export it to either a Toast or iTunes library. The end product is acceptable, but just barely. Customer Support is also non-existent. The help menu is Roxi (a woman avitar) with a list of canned questions and answers. I know that rebate instructions need to be followed to the letter.

Things like this should be something simple like drag and drop, or Select All and Delete but they're not. I am still waiting for an answer to a question I sent in 8 months ago. I received a card in the mail two weeks ago saying that I was missing some thing in my rebate filing and I needed to send it in by a date that had passed 6 months ago. You'll never get it.

Without the rebate, for me it was a total rip off. I am an intelligent adult and have successfully mailed in and received hundreds of product rebates over the years, but there is no guarantee you will receive a Roxio rebate if you purchase this product. If this product seems worth the price to you, regardless of the rebate probably not going through, please ignore my negative review. The company that processes their rebates are fraudulent and do everything they can to get away with it. I call them every month.Unfortunately, I was originally not going to buy this program, but decided to anyway when a great price was offered in combination with the $30 rebate. I can't stress this enough. Do NOT count on receiving the rebate for Roxio Toast.

I have used the Toast line of CD/DVD burning software since I had my old Macintosh G3 and this version of the software is the most feature-packed yet.I am using this product on both an older dual processor G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro on OS X 10.5.4 and both machines have burned flawlessly. I've not had any trouble with either machine.It is a simple to use program with lots of features; probably the best burning utility for Macintosh computers available.

Running on OSX 10.4.11 this old version of Toast grabbed the Lightscribe DVD recorder in my new HP Photosmart 8180 and wrote a good title image first try with DiscLabel. It also uses my old USB Aopen DUW1616/ARR with no issues. It just works.
