One thing that got me excited about my iBook was that it has a 24x CD burner vs my PC's 8x. However if I burn a disc using the Finder, it always verifies the CD after burning. This takes AGES. Is there any way to turn it off?

Yeah, just click the little triangle in the burn window and you'll get lots of options.

Use Toast.

Or, save the money and just click the little triangle in the burn window to get more options.

Yeah, but the built-in burning capabilities blow.

I can't find this option. If I click on 'burn' and then click on the triangle in the little burn box all it does is show what it is doing.
Do you mean the actual finder window which shows the contents of the CD?

Eesh, I just realized that the option isn't there in Panther for some reason when burning from the Finder. You're right, the Finder's burning capability does blow.  That's odd, because I thought I remembered the option being there in Jaguar...
Anyway, you can make a disk image and use Disk Utility to burn the CD, which definitely has the option to turn off verifying, which I know because I use it all the time. Or get Toast like Cipher recommended (although I'd only use Toast for data - it makes too many coasters when burning audio CDs in my experience. iTunes is best for that).

Really? I've *never* had Toast make a coaster on me... I find that to be more a factor of the CD-R media used, rather than the software.

It's my understanding that you can cancel the verification process. I've always thought it was rather silly, since there's nothing you can do about it anyway if the burn wasn't successful. But it would be nice to have a preference to simply skip the process altogether.

When I used to use Toast, it would consistently produce CDs that skipped when playing them. Plus, it had a habit of adding a really loud POP! at the end of the last track. I talked to the people at my uni's computer lab, and they basically had the same experience with it. However, that was a while ago, so maybe things have changed since then, I wouldn't know as I haven't used Toast for audio in a long time. iTunes has always worked flawlessly for audio.

Sure, there is.
If you found out you got a coaster, you can burn again right there as oppose to 3 months later when you need to do a restore and finding that you got a bad disc.

I'm cool with the finder. Unless you make VCDs or need to over-burn or advanced settings...
It works for me.
