What is Toast?

Sorry for the stupid question but I am very new to Apple. I recently purchased the new I Mac with intel core duo. I have the super drive that burns cd's and dvd's. I see people talking about toast, which I assume is a buring software? Is this something that I need or do I already have it? If someone could explain the program Toast for me (what it's for and if I need it), I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for any and all help.

All the info you could want on Roxio's Toast is right HERE.

It is an incredible all-in-one CD and DVD burning software suite. It also has a ton of extra stuff in there to clean up audio imported from LPs, a backup tool that will allow you to span your data over several disks and a whole lot more.

It is a great program and if you are going to be burning, you will eventually want to pick it up.

Eric,

Thanks for the information but do I need this program? If I just want to burn music and or data cd's and make a dvd once in awhile from I movie or I photo, I should be able to do that now correct? This program is for more advance burning or do you suggest that I purchase this program to do what I stated above? Thanks again.

Everything you want to do can be done right from the Finder or within the iLife suite, so no it is not needed for what you want to do.

If you find there is something that you would like to do, but can't, then re-visit this. For now, I think you are good.

Right now there is a rebate going on for TOAST 😉 if you are still thinking of getting it.

Move up to Toast 7 Titanium and get as much as $40 in savings if you qualify for both mail-in rebates. Everyone can take advantage of the first $20 rebate. (See the rebate form for details). To enjoy the second $20 rebate, you just need to show you’re upgrading from any another Roxio or Sonic product. It’s that simple. Check out the rebate form for more details.

Good luck!
