I've been poking around this site for awhile, and it seems to be the best place to find out once and for all if I can use iTunes to burn CD's with my recently purchased drive.
I have an iMac DV SE, running OS 9.2.2, with 1.1.9 Authoring Support and iTunes 2.0.4. The drive is a Lacie d2 DVD Firewire drive - came with Toast Lite, but I'd rather use iTunes.
I have two sets of extensions as recommended in the drive's documentation, one with the Toast authoring support disabled (supposedly will work w/iTunes), and one with Apple's own auth. support disabled (to work w/Toast).
The drive does show up in the System Profiler, and yes there is a CD in. When I put a new CDR in the Finder does ask if I want to prepare it for burning, and an icon does show up on the desktop.
Basically in iTunes, when I hit "Burn CD", it comes up with the message, "CD burner or software not found."
The mechanism of the drive is actually made by Pioneer, and I didn't see that listed in supported drives for OS9, but the specific Lacie model is listed for OS 10. Does this mean it would work w/ OS 10 but not 9? Anything else I can do to make it work?
