First off I dislike Brasero, the UI's complex. Nautilus CD creator or Serpantine holds up better for elegant simplicity. But whatever, Brasero's more powerful and consolidated.
I have a stereo system in my car. It can't read DVD-Audio (... why? WHY DOES NOTHING SUPPORT DVD-A?!), or even a DVD+R with MP3s burned on it (WHY?!). It can read a CD-R with MP3s burned on it, and read M3U playlists. Many portable CD players fall into this category: they play CDs, but can read a CD full of MP3s. It's feasible that some devices could even read Ogg Vorbis (Creative ZEN does...). PROBLEM: I have audio files in FLAC, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis formats, and can make audio CDs from them; but I can't make MP3 CDs without manual work. Let's say I'm burning an Audio CD. I may want to say, "Make a Digital Audio CD" instead-- a CD with digital audio files on it rather than digital audio tracks. Maybe my player allows multiple formats. Let's say I prefer Ogg Vorbis, but my player Supports FLAC, Vorbis, and MP3. I would set that this CD prefers Ogg Vorbis, but that MP3 and FLAC are supported. Now, when I come across a non-Vorbis/MP3/FLAC file, it auto-transcodes into Vorbis. When I run out of space, it warns me that some FLAC files will get transcoded into Vorbis. Other than that, anything I throw at it gets burned to the CD. Ability to lay out a directory hierarchy and playlists would be nice too, but pretty much it should just burn files to the CD in an audio format I've set. If that format is "MP3" and no others, it should convert anything I give it to MP3. If it's a mix of input and supported, it should go by my preference. Then I could load an 80 minute CD with 150 songs (why oh why don't brand new car CD players with MP3 support read DVDs?!) and head out. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
