Excellent virtual CD/DVD drive emulator
DAEMON Tools for Mac is the OSX version of the popular Windows CD/DVD emulator, DAEMON Tools.
Emulating a CD drive may not seem that useful at first, but in fact, it has many advantages. For instance, you can load any image file directly onto your Mac instantly, saving the time and effort of CD burning. Virtual drives are also much faster than CD drives. If you're stuck with a file on your Mac in ISO, BIN, MDF, or NRG format, DAEMON Tools can help as it supports various formats.
After installation, all you have to do is browse to where your image file is saved on your Mac and 'mount' it as a virtual drive using DAEMON Tools. You can do this using Finder under the Devices category or access it from your Menu Toolbar.
The Lite version of DAEMON Tools allows you to emulate up to four virtual drives but doesn't have the extra features of the Pro and Advanced editions. This free version of DAEMON Tools is perfect for the average home user, who will hardly need to emulate more than a couple of drives simultaneously. DAEMON Tools supports a wide variety of formats and is a really useful app for accessing your CD collection without having to carry them around, protecting them from scratches in the process.
With DAEMON Tools for Mac, you can easily emulate up to four virtual drives on your Mac and mount a wide range of image files on them.
