CD Spin Doctor 4.0.1.205t (Mac OS X)

CD Spin Doctor cool but flawed  

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. [alert admin]
