[vorbis] OGG CD Audio Burning

[Benjamin Flanders]

>From what I can remember of Media Jukebox, does just
what you want.  Granted this was a some time ago when
I was using Windows so my memory might be faulty, but
I seem to remember having a playlist of oggs and
saying to myself "Self, you would like to listen to
this in the car wouldn't you" and being elated that it
was a menu and a mouse click away.

Media Jukebox did everything on it's own, from
creating the temp waves to burning the CD.  It was
very easy.  I would look into this more.
