Hey, just burned a disc right now (CD) to test out the superdrive. Works great, but is there any way to see the status of what youre burning? All I saw was a small window that showed the progress of the CD being burned, but it did not show at what speed, which files were being burned at the moment, etc. Also, is there a way to choose whether the CD will be data, music, etc. CD? Thanks.

I used Finder to burn the CD.

in the iTunes preferences, you can choose whether to burn mp3 CD, audio CD, or data CD.

if you burn in the Finder, it will automatically be a hybrid data CD
