Can I put in a word here for one of the most useful, if humble shareware
apps for MacOS on the planet - DiskTracker. I burn CD-ROM backups regularly
and always have DiskTracker open too. As soon as the volume is finished, it
goes into the CD-ROM drive for scanning and is immediately added to a
searchable database. It will scan any form of mounted drive. Really useful
if a client comes back wanting more work on something from 6 months ago, or
if I decide to revive some older material.
i back the database up to a separate drive regularly, along with my Logic,
SD and Peak preferences.

BTW, I've just had someone round today with some files for a remix for a
forthcoming album. 2 CDRs worth - took up 850 mb of my audio drive. I've
just had a wee session with Peak, doing stereo-to-mono conversions and
cutting out dead space by saving separate files for verse and chorus vocals,
ditto various guitar tracks. Discarded the drums and bassline - now down to
67 mb!
