Toast was one of the first programs I bought for my OS X iMac, and I've certainly not regretted handing over the money in the slightest. It works perfectly with an Iomega external USB drive on my iBook and G3 iMac, and also with the Superdrive on my G4 flat-screen iMac.
Why get Toast when OS X will already burn CDs and DVDs? I wanted it mostly for its VideoCD features - before I was lucky enough to have an iMac had a Superdrive, I wanted to make discs that could be played in home DVD players. Thanks to iMovie and Toast, that's exactly what I did: made lots of home movies in VideoCD format. Toast even provides a plug-in for iMovie and QuickTime to make the entire process remarkably painless. OK, so the quality of VideoCD wasn't a match for DVD, but it's pretty close to VHS quality and darn good fun.
After that, well, almost every time I burn a CD I reach for Toast. It's just so easy to use, and flexible - I can be sure that a CD I burn will work on my PC system as well as on my Mac for example. Recent updates to Toast add new features: be sure to download any patches!
The version with Jam is aimed more at professional musicians who want to create audio CDs that can act as masters for duplication - certainly not a feature I need (you don't want to hear me sing).
If you want a reliable, flexible, easy to use way of writing CDs and DVDs on your Mac, this is the solution. It even comes with other utilities that simplify converting old LP albums to CD audio.
Good value for money.

I'm taking back some previous bad words about this program. The problem was that I had just mastered iTunes which, at the time, I thought could not be improved upon for burning CD's. Moreover, using a freeware download, I was able to digitize analog signals from vinyl LP's and cassettes, so why had I purchased Toast?
Since then, I've had a chance to give Toast a fuller audition. To overuse those worn-out words by Amazonian enthusiasts: "simply amazing." Toast is as efficient, quick, user-friendly, and intuitive as any program you're likely to encounter (I honestly believe even my parents could have figured it out). Unlike iTunes, Toast does not require that you record music to hard disk before burning to CD, and the bundled program Spin Doctor not only is saving me loads of time in recording analog sources but permits filtering and audio enhancements as well.
Just a couple of recommendations: Don't try to keep moving back and forth between Toast and iTunes for CD burning. I know my iMac won't let me do it due to extension conflicts, and who wants to enable and disable extensions each time you use the program? Keep iTunes for organizing, cataloging, playing; use Toast for creating digital files from analog and then burning anything digital. Also, unless you have lots of time on your hands, beware of getting carried away with the filtering feature (which Toast allows you to monitor in real time). There's no end to the touching up and experimentation you can do. I've discovered that removing a trace of surface noise or tape hiss simply isn't worth the cost in either high frequencies or time and labor.

Toast is a really nice software package, although quirky at times. All the blame can't be placed on Toast. It, like so many other software titles, adds extensions to your Mac which can conflict with so many other extensions. Still, if your Mac is reasonably conflict free, you should be able to burn CDs or DVDs with fervor. The interface is clean, although not intuitive enough. (Click-and-hold a button for options is not an obvious method.) Toast does a very good job of burning Mac data, PC data and hybrid data CDs. Audio burning has also been improved in this version and, Toast can now recognize an audio image file to find track breaks. Previously only Jam was smart enough to recognize individual tracks in an audio image.
Some tips: Increase the memory allocation to the application. Give Toast a large buffer (64K). Try to avoid disk-at-once recording. DAO is good for "live" recordings, where you don't want an audible gap between tracks, but it taxes the system. If you can stand to have gaps between the tracks, track-at-once is more reliable. Use test mode to determine if your system is able to transfer data quickly enough for the speed you've requested for a burn. DAO and high-speed burning require data to be transferred at very high data rates. You may find you need to burn at a slower speed to achieve reliable burns. The "Toast CD Reader" extension is only needed if you intend to use your CD burner to read existing data or audio CDs. If you only want to burn CDs with your burner, you can safely run without the extension.
Background burning is a nice feature, but, if you are using the system for other tasks while burning, you are at risk for data underruns.

Toast just keeps getting better and better with each version that's released.
You really don't have to read any instructions... just dragging and dropping files, disk images or mounted disk drives/partitions onto the Toast interface makes everything intuitive.
Burning a CD couldn't really be much easier with the level of control (naming your CD, changing how it will appear when opened, etc.) you get in this application.
Creating a CD image on your desktop goes by FAST so if you're on a slow network, you can make an image on your desktop, then burn from that without worrying about user loads on your network.
Naturally, this software will also burn/copy PC-only and PC/Mac hybrid discs in addition to Mac-only CDs. This is a professional industry-grade package. For CD burning software, you can't get much better than this product.
