Hi everyone. Im a bit new so be kind. I have a 17" PB w/ Superdrive. I have noticed many of you use Toast Titanium. I plan on making iMovies on DVD from iPhoto, slideshows on DVD and burn music CD's(which I've already done successfuly). Also would like to convert vinyl to CD. My question is, what more can Toast do for me that the iLife programs can't?

I am new to Toast Titanium and don't use iLife but Toast Ti contains a program called CD Spin Doctor specifically for importing vinyl to CD. I haven't had a chance to use it but from what I have read it does a nice job and does include filters to deal with noise on your vinyl such as hum or pops and cracks.
Actually, the main reason I bought Titanium was that it allows writing multi-session CDs (both CD-R and CD-RW) that the Burn CD system software does not perform. It was maddening to have to waste a whole CD if I had 200 megs or so that had to be backed up and the built-in burner software would only write out an entire CD.

it's been a while since I used Apple burning software, but at that time it always had to create a full temporary disk image (somewhere) before burning. So if you burn a 700 MB CD, you have to have the 700 MB of files plus at least 700 MB free on your boot disk, plus you have to wait while it copies all the files to the temp location before burning. rediculous. Toast of course doesn't do this, plus it supports many more burning formats like ISO9660, CDXA, VCD, etc, that you really only use a few times, but you're glad they're there.

i use toast for the same reason Uncle Skeleton does: i don't like the whole "create temporary disk image" thing. especially if you'e doing DVD's. when you make a data DVD in the Finder, it copies all the data to the system disk, makes an image, and then burns. takes way too long, and recently, i've had less than 4.7gb on my system, and therefore, i can't burn a DVD-R.

Ditto what tr and Uncle Skel wrote.
I've used Toast since it was Adaptec-labeled, and I've grown accustomed to it.
