I've got an iMac 333 with no Firewire, and the internal CD-R died. I decided to buy an Iomega external CDRW rather than replace the internal, because I use this computer as my jukebox and wanted to be able to burn as well as rip.
The CDRW drive is connected through a powered USB hub and recognized. I can read from it, but burning does not appear to be supported by Panther; in order to write to the drive I must use Toast or similar.
The problem arises when I want to burn music bought from iTunes. If the drive is not supported by the OS, iTunes will not recognize that there is a disc to burn. Using Toast to burn MP4A files yields silent tracks.
Is there a hack out there I'm not finding? I can't update to 10.4 because there is no FireWire, so I'm limited to whatever I can do with Panther...
