Abstract: Just got the boxed version of Toast Titanium 8 in and I’m quite confused, yet happy, yet trepidatious. I’ve always liked Toast — it’s simple, straightforward, and it burns solid disks with little fanfare. But what’s all this TiVo stuff then? For...
Abstract: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” right? How do you improve what’s already the industry standard for media burning and authoring? By adding a ton of new features, capabilities, and a gorgeous, intuitive interface that makes...
Abstract: Toast 8 Titanium is now blurry. Im not sure why this is. Some of the GUI is very clean and quite "Tiger"-like in its appearance. And yet, for some reason, when youre setting up a disc to burn or are actually burning it, the type seems like its been ...

Abstract: The last time we took Roxio’s Toast product for a test drive, we gave it a score of 9 out of 10. Toast 8 Titanium, an upgrade to the Mac disc burning software, upholds that rating and adds still more mouth-watering features. The update includes feat...

I’ve only touched on some of the major stuff that’s changed in Toast 8 Titanium. This program has dozens of enhancements and improvements under the hood. With Blu-ray support, TiVoToGo, enhancements, interface streamlining, and feature im...
