Disco Review

 

Disco-Blog-Post

I haven’t been able to produce an episode in what seems like ages for various personal reasons, but I’m back this week with all the news to catch you up on the latest in the Mac community as well as a look at an awesome disc burning application called Disco that just saw a public beta released today. Introductory pricing is available at 15 USD.

This application has been talked about so much in the last few months I was just dying to finally get my hands on the private beta a few weeks ago. The public beta that was released today lets everyone get in on the goods and provides many enhancements and bug fixes to the application. This app is simply amazing from an interface perspective. It is absolutely stunningly gorgeous with all the transparent and sexy black used throughout the app. Everything is liquid-smooth with transitions and so much eye candy that I’m looking for excuses to burn discs!

Overview of Features

Disco has a discography feature that keeps track of every file you’ve ever burnt so that if you need to find it later, you can just search through that and Disco will tell you what disc it is on. A very nice feature indeed. Disco easily lets you burn files that span multiple discs, has plenty of advanced features like multi-session support and even supports burning Video_TS folders for those of you that want to make a copy of a DVD that you’ve ripped to your Mac. Stuff like making copies, creating disc images and burning disc images is so simple and elegant that it’s amazing. The one really cool feature that I can’t use because my Macbook doesn’t have a graphics card that supports it, is the smoke effect. When you burn a disc on a supported Mac, the window smokes and is awesome. Burn baby burn!

If you purchase Disco at this introductory price from MacZot today, you are automatically entered to win one of three awesome Lightscribe Dual-Layer DVD burners. A very cool deal indeed.

Head on over here to take a look at the Disco website and download your beta version today.

    [...] It was just a weeks ago that I had set down with my private beta copy of Disco, the new disc authoring app that has taken the Mac community by storm. Overall the application is very nice and seems to earn its keep. All of the bugs aren’t worked out of it just yet because it is still beta, but it’s a nice piece of software that clearly shows just how much work went into the project and will surely be one of those apps that Mac users keep around in their Applications folder. You can listen to my initial impression of Disco here. [...]
