An image of a CD with fire coming off it, or something like that.  Even my 
mother who's whole experience with computers has been Yahoo! Mail knows what 
burning a CD is.

I'll see if I can incorporate it.  The thing about this is that it *only* makes 
sense in the library view, not any of the other sources.

Hmm, true.  Is there anything wrong with a button (not togglebutton) that will 
change it's text every time it's clicked?  What it is currently displaying 
would be the "current state".  Other than that I think a togglebutton is the 
way to go, and maybe have a pref that says if repeat means repeat track or 
repeat list?
