Why would someone use iTunes?

No on the fly translating, disables your Toast. Do yourself a favor and buy Toast Titanium when it comes out (or snag a beta) - this things is sweet (no waiting around for mp3s to be made into aifs (some exceptions), background operation, fewer compatibility issues). Toast 5 is where it's at. Unless someone can actually give me a reason why it's better to burn audio CDs with iTunes. . .

I like iTunes. iTunes 1.1 fixed a problem that I had with it, but still has a problem with VBR mp3s.

Uh... and Toast is more than one application is it? Toast is infinitely more useful, burn-wise...
iTunes is crap at playing anyway. Audion 1.5 rocks.

I think there is a use for both. If you wan to make an audio cd from your mp3's iTunes is easier. For backing up cd's, making vcd's Toast 5 is needed. The world is big enough for both. Anyway iTunes is free. Once again Apple is way ahead of the Pc makers when it comes to innovative ideas. I forsee only good things ahead for us.

How is iTunes "easier" than newer versions of Toast? In Toast, you drag the .mp3s to the window, cick record. In iTunes, you make a new playlist, click burn - it diddles around converting files - then it burns? Same diff.
BtW; What the hell is Steve smokin' on those new iMacs?

I use iTunes 1.1 now and it burns great. Also Toast 5 titanium betas that I have been trying are playing well with iTunes. Steve's new Saying should be "Can you smell what Apple is cookin?' Anyway the new iMac colors could be worse. one color could be HOT PINK... eeeek. Also I use Sound Jam as well. can't we all just get along?

iTunes is simple to use, it has an attractice interface, it's from Apple so there should be less conflicts, it is easier that SoundJam (for me), it's free -- there are numerous reasons why this application works for me. I burn on average two AIFF or MP3 CDs a month. I have no need for Toast. Can you imagine it? I don't need Toast. The horror!!!

good for you.
does anyone else think that this is kind of an unfinished product? sure. it burns CDs with my external burner, thats what i wanted. but it takes the thing over like a siege? i dont appreciate that at all. plus; it takes longer than toast does to burn (while it converts or whatever the hell its doing), and it took the songs that looked to me to be in the numerical order that i wanted them and did it backwards. wtf? i think im going to go look for that audion program.
basically, the txt that comes with the download says that youre going to get undesirable results. why release it then? fix it. make it work right.

Tried out a beta of Toast ti. This is where my money is going! The beta works flawlessly. Burns in the background.
Do yourself a favor and get it!

i have itunes 1.0 and in a few short days will buy a cdrw external drive. but i guess i will just use toast to burn my cd's i do not feel comfortable with os9.1 and i dont believe itunes 1.1 will burn cds with 9.0.4 which i'm using. does anyone know if it will work with os9.0.4? it would be nice to be able to just have itunes do all my cd burning, and mp3 jukebox stuff for me. i like itunes, and it works well for what it does.
