And that's exactly where I think "MrBurns" code could be adopted to make 
the burn:/// location do a little bit more in a smarter way. You drag 
audio files to it, you get a sorted/numbered list view, fully utilizing 
id3/vorbis/playlist metadata when available. You drag data files to it, 
you get the current behaviour. A combination of both renders a two-paned 
view for audio and data tracks and gets you a mixed mode CD.

Well then, do you think you could separate Totem's playlist editor from 
Totem, much like Epiphany's bookmark editor can be used without an 
active Epiphany window? Or am I asking too much at once here? :-)
