But desktop concepts are always changing. Notice that both iTunes and
Windows Media Players now are offering a "burn this stuff" directly from
the same user interface which plays the media. Maybe *now* ordinary users
did not expect these, but "updated users" of both Windows and Macs have this
option now, so I would expect Linux users will expect this too.
