Re: Audio and Data CD burning

[Jorn Baayen <jorn nl linux org>]

Hi,

I haven't looked yet at implementation details for CD burning, the only
thing we have ATM are plans ;)

One thing is sure though, RB won't become a full burning app. All we're
going to have probably is something like this:
Select some songs, SOme menu->Burn CD, pops up a dialog asking whether
to burn a data or audio cd, mp3 or ogg, and what kind of CD.

More advanced stuff belongs in a dedicated burning app, IMHO. But it
would be nice to have something like a small lib with an object for cd
burning, so code can be reused.

Cheers
Jorn
