Alphabet Soup (sample Triggering)

Hey folks... got the new PSSL Catalog (w/ new Technics SL-DZ1200 digital turntable on the cover), and saw something in it that has me curious: a new Mac-only app called Alphabet Soup that's for live sample-triggering. It's advertised for $89 ... spec's don't seem all that bad, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Is it a piece of crap?

Thanks,

Looking For Cd-text Capable Burning App...

There's got to be at least one application available to Mac OSX users that will burn CD Text data in to the CD... or am I crazy to think that?

Waveburner Pro For Osx?

In the process of switching from PC/SonicFoundry (doing compilations) to PowerBook/Motu828/?? (recording live DJ set from CDJ600 mixer) and believe that WaveBurner Pro is the best program for what I want to do, but the OSX version is in a nebulous state of release. Does anyone have connections at eMagic that could shed some light. I don't want to wait 9 months for that baby. Is there another good OSX CD burning tool that allows you to include CD Text data?

On a slightly related topic, does anyone feel like sharing their insight on recording software? I could, of course, drop another huge chunk of change and get Logic Platinum 6, but that might be MAJOR overkill for me. I don't want to do any Midi (at least, not right now), but I do want to record, and edit waveforms... I don't want to settle for lesser quality, but don';t want to buy extra functionality if I don't have to (sometimes you can only get the quality if you also buy the functionality because manufacurers bundle the two insted of just making all their products of the same quality caliber, and just letting folks upgrade to more capability. Am I wrong?)

Many, many thanks, guys... first round's on me if we can solve these issues (Who's in DC?)
