First the CD drive you want to copy from must be able to do "Digital Audio Extraction" at high speed or you will suffer "Buffer Underruns" and will have generated a "coaster" inste…

I use Astarte CD-Copy 2.0 to extract any track from cd, weather it be data or audio. Once tracks are saved you then drag them on top of toast and it does the rest. This has a minor…

Toast 3.5 is not the latest version. An updater for version 3.5.5 is available on their website. If you have your manual for Toast, try looking at pgs. 149-153.
