This program is a pile of junk.
Earlier versions worked great.
After paying to upgrade to Toast Titanium 10 this piece is AWFUL.
It crashes.
It doesn't send all the track info to iTunes.
It sends very large AIFF files as well as the format you choose.
There is NO help available and from what I can tell NO support from the vendor.

I use a different program to record and remove surface noise, and then basically used Spin Doctor 2 to split the file into tracks, which was pretty efficient at that. Spin Doctor 3 added the "send to iTunes" function, which I liked, but it was clunky for fine tuning the track splits, so I used each for what it was good at. (Mac X, Tiger throughout). Upgraded to Leopard. Spin Doctor 2 and 3 can't play sound in Leopard; trying to do so causes crashes. (Leopard is pretty crash-happy as it is). Spin Doctor 4 is functional in Leopard, but it's only part of Toast 8; I use Toast enough to justify the upgrade from Toast 6, the last version I had. Spin Doctor 4 in Toast 8 will crash the first 2 or 3 times you try to auto-define tracks for a file. On the 3rd try it often completes the task, but not always. So, right now I open Spin Doctor 2 and auto-define without playing the track, save, quit, open in version 4 and proceed. The Toast / iTunes integration is saving me time in the overall process.
Since I don't use Spin Doctor's sound filters, I can live with it with this work around and for this limited purpose.
If you think you can fire this up and archive your vinyl (old and new) easily and satisfactorily, you can't.

This product is basically not functional with Leopard. I had Toast 7 and when ever I tried to use Spin Doctor it froze. No support is available, so I thought I probably should upgrade to Toast 8. Now it doesn't freeze it simply crashes. Again no support is available. I tried all of the current updates with no improvement. If you are interested in this product, I would certainly wait for some more development work on it.
4.0.2.333 Crashes - ? Auto define the culprit - Version: 4.0.1.205t, 11/17/2007 12:47PM PST

Updated as part of Toast 8.0.3
Generally good program in the past but now crashes almost every time - I suspect it relates to Auto Define as when I resurrect a recording and define manually it doesn't crash.

CD Spin Doctor 4.0.1 is inside the Toast 8.0.1 update image,
BUT BEWARE, Don't necessarily load everything:
Motion Pictures HD is NOT the current latest (version 2.1.4t)
Disc Cover RE is NOT the current latest (version 1.5)
Roxio always keeps you guessing!

Overpriced... - Version: 4.0.1.205t, 8/27/2007 06:58AM PST

If they think that this app is worth $50, they're smoking something really strong.
I've had every iteration of this app and the first couple (going back before OS X) were OK. Not great, but OK. Decent enough for very inexperienced recordists to try and fiddle with a decent LP or tape. But all versions I've tried (including this one) does far too much damage to the original sound with the 'repairs' made by the program.
I would also agree that the interface feels very non-mac in nature.
Roxio seems to be slightly out of touch in terms of value of product and upgrades. If you've got Toast 8, you've got this. If you don't have Toast 8, I wouldn't spend more than $20 on this. For the money, you're far better off getting Amadeus. The 'ease of use' this programs says it offers will ruin your recordings.

Your link takes me to Roxio's web site where I am given the opportunity to by this! I already have the software that came with Toast 8! There does not seem any way of getting to an upgrade for this.
Generally this is fairly crappy piece of software that promises much and delivers little. Geniune case for update. But no go.

CD Spin Doctor for digitizing LPs - Version: 3.0.2, 4/21/2006 09:52AM PST

Overall a reasonably good product for digitizing your old vinyl although features are a bit weak. For example, the only way to dehiss/declick/decrackle a region of the recording is to define it as a track, and then wait as CDSD writes out the entire file to disk (it seems to take as long to do this as to noise filter the entire file). Also the noise filters don't entirely remove crackle/clicks even when they are notched up to the max (something you don't want to do for the entire recording, but is made more complex because you cannot filter only a small part of the recording). It also has a nasty habit of stalling and pausing playback for unknown reasons.
Finally CDSD has a nasty way of hanging and giving the spinning rainbow wheel which only a Force Quit can cure. All in all you get what you paid for (this comes for free with Toast) in this product, however Toast is expensive so I would have expected slightly better.
