FireStarter FX 1.0RC1 (Mac OS X)

Glad to see the update  

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. [alert admin]

AudioBinder 0.9.7 (Mac OS X)

Tip: Use with FireStarter FX  

AudioBinder (0.9.7) will insert CDDB info automatically with perfect track starttimes if you 'Copy CD to Disk' using the Advanced preference in FireStarter FX, 'create toc file only'. Then drag it to AudioBinder. What a great timesaver. This application is not just for podcasts but anyone interested in a gapless itunes experience. In iTunes, 'Join all CD Tracks', then import AAC to get the m4a file. [alert admin]
