Disco revealed
Lots of people emailed us about Disco, the new app from the folks behind AppZapper and MacZot and we didn't post about it. Why? Because there was very little information about the app, other than it was supposed to be super cool.This all changed recently, though, since some screenshots were posted to the Disco blog. Disco is a disc burning utility that tries to make burning discs easy and fun, and it is taking aim at Toast. Check out the screenshots for more info.

The lovely people at disco just raised the bar to $149.50 for the top toast spot at http://yournameontoast.com
Very clever.
Do comapnies even care that the names they pick are already in use?
"Disco is professional dj mixing software for live mixing music with your mac."

Seems they may be a little bit more in line with the name.
Fun? Go outside. Please.

multi-session burning and disc-spanning.
Could someone please tell me why I need a program like this? Right now I just pop in a blank disc, and drag items onto the disk folder, and hit burn. What am I missing?

How is Toast not "A mac burning app for mac users?" Toast is Mac-only, and as simple as all get-out. I'm not a Toast junky, but anyone who would say that Toast isn't easy as cake, as well as powerful, is just plain stupid.
Although I like the idea of competition in the market, I haven't seen anything that says this will actuallyt compete with Toast.
A UI is not everything. I am in love with BurnAgain

not only is it simple to use and has a beautiful ui,
but it does unique multiple session to one volume burning.
"Saying something is crap or "glad I didn't waste my money on it" before knowing the full extent of the program's features is quite juvenile."
What a lame thing to say.
