Roxio has posted more details on Toast 7, the update to the venerable CD burning app for the Mac (check out Hear It!):


New & improved in Toast 7 [Roxio]


As a guest wisely commented on my previous story, there’s plenty here for audio users: “Very hefty stuff… the audio DVD is tops… nothing else can do this on the Mac.”


Plenty is new, but here are the reasons I’ll upgrade:


  • 50 hours of music on a DVD
  • High-quality DVD sound: Dolby Digital sound or 96 kHz, 24 bit stereo
  • Instant capture and recording via a Dashboard widget
  • Built-in OGG, FLAC, and AAC support

  • Coming by August 31; US$69 upgrade or $99 new. That anonymous reader found it even cheaper at Buy.com.
