One comment about the current music cd burning abilities. This is very
limiting and will in the future be removed in favour of a "burn
playlist" button in the media player (rhythmbox for instance).

There just isn't any sane way to handle ordering of the songs in the
nautilus UI. Plus you want to know things like total play time and have
easy preview of the songs.
