What about if Nautilus could treat Audio CDs as normal CDs ? When
inserted, the CD icon should appear. When you open the CD, its tracks
should appear as normal files (their names should be taken from CDDB).
Copying those tracks should be done using a ripper software and save the
tracks to vorbis files (or wav, that should be configurable)
automatically. Then, if you right-click on a folder containing only
audio files, you should have "Burn to Audio CD" and "Burn to CD-ROM"
options.
