Audio CD Burning for Mac

When it comes to burning audio CDs on a mac (since at least 10.9) there's really only two options: iTunes or using cdrdao.

iTunes has a very simple GUI and it makes it pretty easy to burn but instead of doing DAO (Disc-At-Once) burning it does TAO (Track-At-Once) which is extremely tempremental and results in more coasters than good burns. It may do DAO for CD-TEXT cds but even then I get a burn success rate of 10%.

cdrdao on the other hand does DAO and is incredibly reliable.

it would be nice to write an open source public domain native mac program that bundles cdrdao and LAME and provides a small GUI that implements the Audio CD burning interface provided by iTunes.
