So it didn’t look like the file was incomplete. I double-checked the size of the disk image to make sure that it matched the size indicated on the download page on Roxio’s web site. I had seen this “invalid checksum” when attempting to mount a disk image before, but as far as I could remember it usually happened when I was attempting to mount a partially-downloaded disk image or a disk image file that was incomplete because of some other reason (aborted download, bad copy, etc.). So that was decent of them.īut I started to suspect something had gone wrong in Roxioland after I downloaded the large (675 MB) disk image and attempted to mount it on the desktop in order to install the files. The Canadian dollar has been shooting up in recent times, but still, it hasn’t quite reached parity yet. Roxio even gave me the $100 price in Canadian dollars as opposed to US dollars. The only extra software that I was really interested in was the SoundSoap SE 2 application, but I figured the whole thing might be worth the expense at this point in time.Īt first, things went fairly smoothly. But Roxio tends not to have very attractive purchasing options once you skip a version number, so I knew that if I ever decided I needed to upgrade my copy of Toast, I would have to pay something close to the full price anyway-and now for that price I could get the “Pro” version. I didn’t really need to upgrade my existing copy of Toast (Toast 8 Titanium, purchased in early 2007), which was still working fine and meeting my needs.
The special price meant that it was the same price as Toast 10 without the “Pro” part, i.e.
TOAST 10 TITANIUM UPGRADE FOR MAC OS
A few weeks ago, I got a promotional e-mail from Roxio inviting me to purchase the latest version of its flagship CD/DVD recording software for Mac OS X, Toast 10 Titanium Pro, for a special price of $100.
