We probably need a browser in at least vplaylists .. so then this is
going to not work already. Besides, for an action button we REALLY need
text imho.. especially because it changes all the time. (which is a bad

ideally you wouldnt even need to go to the cd view to rip, just
Actions->Import CD.

Actions->Burn selection to CD

easy enough for maintance tasks like that imho. :)
