Bloggy Giveaways: Toast 8

Carnival_buttonThis giveaway is now closed.

Oh yes! The Bloggy Giveaways Carnival is in full swing this week! I hope you’re playing along because it’s great fun.

Here is my prize for today: TOAST 8

I have it on my Mac, but I haven’t been able to use it because I dropped my Mac and bent the opening to the CD player thingy. I hear great things about TOAST 8, though. And if I could use mine, I’m absolutely certain the sun would shine brighter, birds would sing more sweetly, and Matt Damon would come clean my house.

What is TOAST 8? It software for the Mac that let you (according to Amazon.com–where I copied the following from)

  • copy your audio CDs, movies and DVDs
  • take your favorite TV shows to go, with easy TiVoToGo transfers
  • Blu-ray Disc Support: Burn up to 50 GB – 12,500 music tracks, or 50,000 photos, or 4 hours of raw HD video
  • restore and recover files from scratched or damaged discs while copying
  • create DJ-style audio CDs with the same pro-quality audio features previously found in Roxio Jam

See what I mean? It’s awesome.

Wanna win it? Leave me a comment on this post. That’s it! Of course, I’d love it if you wrote something besides "Pick me!" or "I want this!" because I’d rather read about how you’ll use the software. But any comment counts.

The only thing I ask is that you don’t enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don’t get any entries. Just so you know and all. And no anonymous comments because, hello? How can I contact you if you’re anonymous? Just sayin’.

I’ll pick a winner on Friday and contact you that same day via e-mail. You don’t have to be a blogger to play along, but it will definitely help if you at least have a Mac since the software is specifically for a Mac computer.

I plan to have some other giveaways going on here this week, but I have yet to decide what they should be. I’m nothing if not a complete and total procrastinator.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

Oh that would be awesome we have been looking for somthing like that for our Mac!

I would love the Toast 8. I have a Mac but have never heard of this. I would use it to make CDs for my family. I would also love to create a family geneology with pictures and information, then make copies to give to my children. Wouldn’t it be fun to see what great great grandma looked like? Or to find out that one of our relatives was a one armed teacher. Now I need to do some research to find out how he lost his arm.
Thanks for offering this.

I have a MAC! Is it too late?

5 Jennifer Bogart April 22, 2008 at 4:05 pm

We have a Mac! We have damaged and scratched CD’s…..ergh!!!! That is why we need Toast8, thanks!

6 Serenity April 22, 2008 at 4:07 pm

OOh, I love my Mac but need a new one, and winning this might just push the husband to let me get it!!

7 Megan April 22, 2008 at 7:41 pm

Great giveaway. My mac would heart this and I’d finally be able to get my wedding video on dvd.

8 shirley April 22, 2008 at 8:22 pm

11 P. Adams April 23, 2008 at 6:02 am

Please include me in your drawing. Thanks!

12 Jessie April 23, 2008 at 6:15 am

We do not have Toast 8 yet for our Mac and it would be fabulous for our family – to be able to copy a tv show on disc for long car rides would be a lifesaver for mama! This is a wonderful giveaway, please enter us! Have a great day!

13 katia April 23, 2008 at 7:12 am

I would really love to have this on my Mac. On a student budget, it’s so hard trying to find decent apps to burn data or dvds on discs and to have just ONE application that would let me do this would be awesome. :)

14 Bridget Dell April 23, 2008 at 8:30 am

This would be great for my hubby who has a MAC. I’m getting a MAC for my birthday this yr, woohooo!!

15 Janet F April 23, 2008 at 8:52 am

I would love to win this for my son.
He would love it!

16 Tammi April 23, 2008 at 9:19 am

This looks great for recovering family photos saved to cds which got scratched, among other things.
Kudos to you for getting in on this. I want to give away something, too!

17 Chantel April 23, 2008 at 9:33 am

Oh, this sounds like another fun thing to try out in the ilife of mac-ness.

Hi! We have 2 Macs! I’d love this for my hubbie!

19 Cecilia April 23, 2008 at 11:46 am

My son is getting a mac for HS graduation. He’s going to college for music therapy. A marraige of his love of music and his love of helping people. This would be an awesome prize for him! Thanks for including me in your drawing!

20 Erin Neiner April 23, 2008 at 12:25 pm

Well, I don’t typically enter for things like this because I NEVER win! :) But we recently got a mac and my husband is now full time graphic designing and I know we would use this software for personal & business reasons. So please “throw my name in the mix.” And sorry to hear about your damage. :(

21 Krissi April 23, 2008 at 12:25 pm

“Pick me!” and “I want this!”
Ok, just kidding. You’re offering a lovely prize and should I win, I might just consider getting one of those new MacBook Airs… because I really, really REALLY need to get a new laptop.

23 Teresa W. April 23, 2008 at 2:37 pm

What a sweet prize, thanks for the chance!

24 Jhianna April 23, 2008 at 7:36 pm

I’ve been looking for something that would let me copy my TiVo programs. And I think I have a few scratched CDs that I haven’t been able to part with. Great giveaway!

25 Lauren April 23, 2008 at 7:46 pm

Wow! I was just looking to buy software just like this! It would be awfully lovely to have it magically appear in the mail! *wink*

26 Diana April 23, 2008 at 9:13 pm

I have a Mac laptop and love music, so Toast 8 intrigues me. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

27 Shari April 23, 2008 at 9:14 pm

I am writing this comment on my first Mac and this software would be a great addition…As a high school librarian I am always being asked to fix the impossible and I might just be able to do that with Toast8!

28 Delphine April 23, 2008 at 9:22 pm

woohoo, my hubby just got a MAC, I’ve been fiddling with it a little when he takes a shower (that’s basically the only time he’s not touching it!).
Great giveaway I’d love to give him for his graduation!

29 Georgina S April 23, 2008 at 11:29 pm

My DH was just talking about getting a laptop today! I would love to win this for him. We have always wanted to try a MAC. We have a new baby so money is tight this would be a great win!

30 Adriana April 24, 2008 at 9:38 am

Oh great! I know my hubby would love to have this! And what a great way to back up our movies and stuff! Thanks.

31 katklaw777 April 24, 2008 at 12:14 pm

32 Reeva April 24, 2008 at 2:01 pm

Thanks for offering such a great prize – I hope I’m the lucky winner! :)

33 imbeingheldhostge April 24, 2008 at 4:01 pm

Pick me! I want this! LOL. Actually, I’ve been dying to try Toast 8 but since I’m saving my pennies for Photoshop (and doing a lot of begging as well for my birthday), I figured I’d get it about the time the rest of the world was on Toast 15. ;-)
Thanks for offering it!

34 Greg @ Mommy Daddy Blog April 24, 2008 at 10:17 pm

My finacee has a Mac and I would love to win this a surprise for her! She doesn’t do much with CDs/DVDs on her Mac, but I’m pretty sure she will if she had this!

35 Ashley April 24, 2008 at 10:18 pm

Oh man, this would rock. I’d love to win this! I’d actually have software on my Mac! Everything I see local is for….non Macs!!

36 Megret April 24, 2008 at 10:53 pm

My husband is a Mac guy and he’d love this! Thanks!
