The muine playlist is, well, what is in the word "playlist"- a list of
songs to be played. It does not have any sorts of checks whether it will
fit on the disc, etc etc. In my opinion it would be a lot cleaner to
have a separate burning app. From muine CVS (0.8.0 to be released soon)
it is possible to drag both songs and whole albums (as uri lists), so it
is possible to drag them to a burning app. I also plan on adding the
possibility of dragging the playlist as a whole from the "playlist"
label.

0.8.0, which is soon to be released.
