Who gives a blooie about commercial disc-burning software when our trusty Mac OS iApps and even the humble Finder can burn CDs and DVDs? You do, if you want advanced and generally obscure features like burning to multiple drives simultaneously and recording live audio straight to disc. If you want these and other heartier features than Apple’s disc-burning apps contain, give this one a whirl.
