It's a command you use in the terminal and comes with your mac. Terminal
gives you access to the text-based interface to the unix system which
OSX is built on. You can pretty much do anything in the terminal that
you can through the GUI and somethings that are hard or impossible
through the GUI. Of course with more capability usually comes more
complexity. So just bring up terminal and type drutil to get basic info
on how to use the command. For more details on drutil type 'man drutil'
which will give you the manual page for that command. You can do man on
any unix command or even 'man man' to find out more about how to use the
manual command.
If you do get the hang of drutil and get it burning an audio image to a
particular cd drive you can then either open multiple tabs and run the
same command to a different drive in each terminal tab, or you can end
the command with an & symbol (shift-7 on US keyboards) which tells
terminal to run that in the background so you can type another command.
So you could eventually type the same command as many times as you have
drives, just changing the destination drive each time for the write. Of
course there is probably some limit to how many drives you can
concurrently do this with before your machine can't keep up. I have no
idea what that limit is as most people don't have more than one or two
drives to try this with.
Blank media usually has a write speed max so you don't want to go over
that. This is usually something like '32X' which means you can write up
to 32X normal speed. So for a full 80 minute CD you should be able to
write that out in about 3 minutes. I only mention this because that
means your machine will be flinging 700MB from your hard drive to your
CD burner over a 150second time or about 4.6MB per second. My MacBook
internal hard drive tests out at about 48MB/s read rate so I would be
limited to being able to keep about 10 burners fed (46MB/s). So if
you've got one of those 8-bay CD burner things you should be ok. Only
way to know is to try as there could be other weak links in the chain.
At some point, unless you already bought the hardware, it might be worth
just going with a standalone 7:1 burner tower for about $600:

If you do get the command line thing all worked out you can store the
commands in a text file like a recipe and then just run that text file
as a script to do it the same way every time.

Hello Chris. Sorry for replying late but I am a little behind on my mail lately.
Thanks for your response.
Do you know if this app is accessible with voice over?
I will go now to check it out.
Thanks.

I think Dragon Burn is supposed to be able to do this and has a free trial:

Of course if you don't mind playing around in the terminal you should be able
to do this with drutil. Running drutil you can specify to burn an iso in audio
format to a drive and I'm assuming you could do this multiple times to multiple
drives.

Hello list.
I am looking for an application that will allow me to copy an audio cd to
multiple drives at the same time.
I have burn, but this app can not do what I am asking. Is there a more full
featured program for cds and dvds for the mac?
In windows, I used to do this with Nero. I am looking for something similar.
I know that toast titanium is the best application for such tasks for the mac
but I don't think that is accessible with voice over.
Any help is very much needed and appreciated.
Nektarios.
