If you can persuade your friend to part with a little cash, Roxio's Toast 5 they even have Mac OS X version now it's well worth it. You can find Toast for less the 100 US dollars.
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=20337880 go to the above URL and that's about as cheap as you'll find it. Or run your own search on it. I use this soft almost every other day for burning Audio CD's, MP3's, data backup and my own system boot CD. Some of the things that come with Toast are also useful. Making CD's for a PC is also easy with Toast. If your like me and do not read the instructions, just be sure you do not have Virtual Memory on when using Toast and especially CD Spin Doctor that comes with it. Works fine on my Ti 500.
