i used to burn cds on my pc with a program that used "InCD" to make the cd act like a small hard drive. i could write and rewrite files without a problem (an updated version of a file would replace the old version - not burn a duplicate). i could also drag and drop without a problem.

i am a mac newbie (iMac, 17", 512mb RAM), and i don't seem to be able to do this. i have to burn "multi-session" cds that continually add to the cd. it doesn't update files.

does Toast 6 have this type of capability?

Their FAQ says they do support multi-session CDs:

Packet Writing isn't supported at this time.

"packet writing"..... yes, that's what it's called. what exactly is it? it is such a great feature. why wouldn't toast offer something like that? are there any other programs out there for the mac that do it?
