Because it would mean writing every file to somewhere else, then moving 
it to where you want at the end. That's certainly possible, it would 
just be fragile (for example, if Sound Juicer crashed on the last track, 
zero tracks would end up where you wanted). And you wouldn't be able to 
"Cancel" the copy operation anyway.

Ok, that seems reasonable.
