I agree with you. The best way to burn Audio is from the Music player
but...

but... in some occasions, it could be useful to have a simple and easy
way to burn audio from Nautilus. We already have a dialog asking for the
desired burning speed and the device. Why not add a simple list of
tracks to this dialog with "up" and "down" buttons ? And if people
really want need more stuff, they still can use Rhythmbox for example.
