If I have a Superdrive and copying cd/dvd is only for fun. Do you think that having a toast 6 is practical?

Thanks for your comment.

Toast offers a bit more flexibility than Apple's built-in options. If you're not going to do anything special, you can live without it.

I find toast to be great for those special needs, but Finder burning works just fine also.

Don't forget that Disk Utility is capable of burning various media as well (CDR/RW, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW depending on the model of Superdrive you have). I would say that Toast 6 is only necessary to you if you want ease-of-use and a greater degree of flexibility.

Is there some trick to getting Toast 6 to copy both the PC and Mac sides of a hybrid CD? I'm trying to make a disk image of a CD (some of my coworkers have a tendency to lose CDs, so having backup disk images is a Good Idea), and it's only copying the Mac side of the disk. Any idea?

Thanks to all of your sweet responses. I would just stick to my SD then which is the latest.

There's an option in Toast that allows you to easily burn a hybrid CD. I don't have a Mac to check for you, but just have a look for the button/option.

Not a PowerBook-specific topic.

P.S. Apple's burning software always creates a hybrid disc, which is why it doesn't have a checkbox for it the way Toast does.
