I don't think this should be handled by gnome-vfs at all (at least in the standard installation. When we agreed on leaving out the cdda module and handling the playing/ripping task by a dedicated app, we basically told the user: "A song is not a file.", because files are managed by nautilus, and songs now aren't (this is only true if a music manager app like rhythmbox is used, which can automatically add songs from a cd to the user's collection, a.k.a. ripping. This seems to me like the best solution to the whole thing). We should not break this by telling them "A song is not a file when copying FROM cd, but when copying TO a mobile player (or even a cdr), it is a file." I think it is best to let the player application handle copying of music from/to devices (including cd(r)). If the cdda module will be available as a separate package, we could of course add such a module to it. That would make sense, because the songs can be completely handled as files, from cd to disk to mobile player. _______________________________________________ gnome-vfs-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-vfs-list
