Roxio Toast 9 Titanium

This product does many things & I believe it does them well but it is not a smooth fit with Apple's Aperture & this was why I bought it .I can drag files from Aperture but not whole Project/Events.I resort 2 my WD Hardrive & send them 2 Toast from there were it works very well.

A BIT CONFUSING BUT DOES MAKE TEXT, MUSIC AND VIDEO DISKS THAT WORK WELL IN OTHER THAN COMPUTER DISK PLAYERS.

Great product that supports audio & video 4 MAC. A must 4 all who utilize audio, video recording & print their own CD/DVD Labels. Works without problems & is very easy 2 use. Vast improvement from Toast 7 & 8 versions.

I had high hopes 4 this product 2 be able 2 transfer my collection of LP vinyls 2 CDs. I tried 2 use it years ago on my PC but gave it up 4 obvious (Windows) reasons. Finally on a Mac (Powerbook G4) I thought it would be a breeze. It has been anything but; starting with very poor documentation, & none whatsoever regarding "SpinDoctor" the part of Toast that deals with the transfer of analog 2 digital media. I have experienced not only constant crashes of the programs but unexpected & not so sporadic recording of distortion. The program itself has gotten "corrupted" becoming unusable & the solution, at least mine, has been 2 uninstall & then reinstall the software; that seems 2 solve the problem, at least temporary.
After having spend quite a bit of money on Roxio products, Windows version & now the Mac one, I expected more. I should have paid more attention 2 the reviews on all the forums about it that were more negative than positive.

I purchased MyDVD 9 from Roxio & it failed 2 work properly. When I consulted their technical support the suggestions they made were based on Windows Vista (it took them over a week 2 get back 2 me). The only problem is that my OS is Windows XP which I spelled out very clearly in my initial e-mail request. When I tried 2 get my money back they said they would not return products that were not purchased directly from Roxio. Consequently, IF YOU BUY ROXIO PRODUCTS YOU CANNOT RETURN THEM!!!
