Mac OS X burning software

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

I've been using Disk Utility to burn my CDs in Mac OS X. While it's nice, I do want something similar to Nero for burning my CDs, particularly for friends who don't have the fortune of having a Mac. (Again, I know I can do this through the Disk Utility as well, but I rather have something, well, Mac-simple.)

Since some of you have Macs as well, I figure I'd ask you folks for your opinions on such software.

dd is the best.

Um... can't think any off the top of my hand.

Well there's Toast, which is pretty nice.

True. It's basically a unix system.

What I was really looking for was a GUI, kinda like Nero and k3b (KDE's GUI for Linux).

My search has turned up something cool. I haven't had the chance to try it yet since my HDD is apparently on its way out :mad:, but it's called FireStarter (http://www.projectomega.org/subcat.php?lg=en&php=products_firestarter#dl).

Don't know what success people have had with it. So if anyone's used it before, let me know how it works, if you like it, and all that good stuff!

Roxio's Toast for Mac (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html) remains the best overall GUI program to burn CDs and DVDs for any platform, and is counterpart (but a much older one) to EasyCD Creator and Nero.

You can do much in the way of burns with Disk Utility and other command line tools, but why?

That's what I was talking about
