It allows you to back-up as easily CDs that even Roxio Toast cannot copy
It makes brings for the first time on Mac OS X the burning of cue/bin disk-images from the PC world
It brings for the first time overburning available to Mac OS X
You can easily burn complex CD formats such as VCDs and SVCDs
Because you don't want to compromise on quality, FireStarter FX sports all the features you want to see in a commercial grade burning application:
Simulation
Customizable RAM cache
High speed burning
Buffer under-run technology to prevent wasting your media
Multi-session burning
Paranoia audio-cd ripping, for best error protection copy
CDDB access to automatically create CD-TEXT data
CD-TEXT reading and writing with drives that support it
and many more powerfull features

What's new in this version:

FireStarter FX 1.0RC1 has been redeveloped from scratch and now supports officially only Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It is a universal application from ground up. It hasn't been tested on previous versions of Mac OS X and we are not intending on supporting them.
All the previous functionalities are available, in a more robust and hopefully user-friendly version.
A major new feature has been implemented in this release: automatic split and burn of data folders bigger than the size of the media inserted, as requested by many users.
I hope you will like it, as we tried to put as much coolness as possible in the application. Please think about giving if you like and use the software, it simple, efficient, environmentally green and brings good karma!

The power of cdrdao on osx. Well, partly (more on that in a moment).

Nice update. It would be appropriate to allow users to turn off transparency and superfluous effects. They don't bother me personally, but some may be annoyed.

The tab fonts seem blurry. Not really worth complaining about in a release candidate, I understand.

I like the disc 'filling up' when burning, nice effect.

Thank you for turning off expiration dates.

If you really want to do something amazing and special, port gcdmaster to osx. Mac users are in dire need of an affordable (any?) true waveform toc editor for audio discs with full cdtext editing, pre-gap editing and the ability to break redbook. I have been compiling cdrdao with gcdmaster on osx for use with x11. The amount of libraries required to do this is ridiculous and even when you're through you don't get sound support. I pain myself through this because I like to hide songs in the pregap of track one on my discs. CDRDAO is unique with this capability.

CDRDAO is incredibly powerful and barely reaching potential on osx. Maybe the 'sox' utility can help behind the scenes to write headers and such.

Nice image tool. Thanks.
