burnItAgainSam 2.0.2 Add Files To - Or Perform Incremental Updates Of Your CDRs [OS X 10.3 up]

BurnItAgainSam lets you add files to your CDR multiple times easily. Instead of showing a CDR icon for each session, the CDR burnt using BurnItAgainSam shows all the files ever burnt together, as if you had burnt them at once. The format of the CDR is also windows compatible. Plus: BurnItAgainSam lets you change the name of your CDR at each burn.

BurnItAgainSam performs real incremental updating if you burn a Folder twice, automatically checking what files have been added or changed and only using space for these. If you want, you can decide to start over at any time and hide the contents of previous sessions at the next burn.

• use your CDR until it is full
• update files&folders incrementally
• find all files in one CDR icon
• rename your CDR each burn
• supports CDR and CDRW
• windows compatible format
• supports resource forks
• ready for Tiger

NEW IN V2.0
• automatic incremental update
• option to hide previous sessions
• improved user interface

current version: v2.0.2
new: fixed a bug that caused problems when adding huge amounts of files

BurnItAgainSam makes burning "linked" multisession CDRs really easy. You can add as little data as your want to your CDR at each burn without creating a confusing CDROM that mounts multiple icons when inserted. You will not waste space because this allows you to continue adding data until the CDR is completely full. Equally named files will be overwritten and the CDR will only show their most recent version. With V2.0 it even check what files have changed and reburns only the new ones. Backing up your data to a CDR has never been easier.
Furthermore, the resulting CDR is windows compatible.

More technically spoken, BurnItAgainSam is a tool that burns folders or files as a ISO 9660 joliet rock ridge multisession CDR, that links to previous sessions if they are available, and performs incremental updating during data preparation.

To avoid confusion i might add that you can add files only to CDRs that have not been "closed". (Either you have used BurnItAgainSam from the start or any other program that supports leaving the CDRs appendable.) CDRs that have been burnt using the Finder have been "closed" and therefore can not be appended!

System Requirements:
The current release of BurnItAgainSam (v2.0) requires MacOSX 10.3 or higher and an Apple supported CDRW drive.
BurnItAgainSam also supports MacOSX 10.4.

BurnItAgainSam is shareware

BurnItAgainSam can be tested for 20 trial burns. After that,
please support the development by purchasing a $25 license!
The "BUY BURNITAGAINSAM" button above will take you to the Kagi webstore.

People who purchased a license for older versions may upgrade for $15.
