Audio HiJack I'd have paid double, I use it 10+ hrs a week.

GoLive Way overpriced, but useful

DVDBackup/ DVD2oneX combo is unbeatable

Toast, toast and toast.
I have Toast, and I totally dig it. It's very good.

But so many people in this forum talk about how great it is, I feel like I'm missing something. For my own benefit, can you guys give me a quick list of things that it does better than burning through finder? I feel like I'm missing out!

The one thing that I use it for that is a big advantage over finder burning is creating photo CDs. I open up iPhoto, drag and drop pics into toast, hit burn, then head to Target to get them developed.

But I feel like there is more than that.

Sorry for the detour off topic.

Oh, the freebie little Applescript Mov2DVparts
When I find myself with a big DV file, this puppy will break it into iMovie manageable chunks. My Formac DV input creates single huge files. This thing has saved me alot of manual cut time.

iTerm, because Terminal.app does not have tabs.
VLC, because QuickTime sucks at playing XviD/DivX stuff.
Microsoft Office 2004, particularly Word. I despise Win32 office, but it works great for me on my Mac.
Toast is handy, because cdrecord-ProDVD doesn't work quite right.
