10. Roxio Toast Titanium 8 for Mac
Editors' rating: 7.5
The good: Roxio Toast Titanium 8, the giant of Mac disc creation tools, stays current with support for TiVoToGo, Blu-ray discs, and LightScribe drives, while delivering much-appreciated new features such as the ability to recover bad CDs or DVDs, and the ability to catalog the contents of burned discs. Audio-mixing features formerly found in Roxio Jam have now been folded in.
The bad: The revised interface in Roxio Toast Titanium 8 feels sterile, and it can be hard to find help information since support documents are spread between the printed manual, support site and various applications' electronic files. The audio-mixing tools could be more robust and offer easier previews.
The bottom line: Roxio continues to improve a strong suite and keep Toast current with the release of version 8. If the Mac OS and Apple's bundled apps don't meet your disc-creation needs, pick up Toast at once.
