Hi Sebastian, The feature to burn to disc just seems very clunky and does not offer any guidance to the user on error, leaving them in limbo to figure it out. Not very user friendly.
IDEA 1 In the error message at least there should be some sort of guidance, or at least an indication with regard to the number of tracks (file size or minutes) that could be burned to an Audio CD, prompting the user to create a shorter playlist or something. IDEA 2 Perhaps the user could select multiple tracks from his/her playlist, do a right mouse click and select 'Burn to Audio CD' where perhaps they are transferred to Basero for Audio CD Creation. There also needs to be an indicator in the status bar indicating the total Minutes for any track(s) selected, so that the user can figure out disc capacity. IDEA 3 My original idea was for the error message to ask if it is OK to proceed by cropping the number of tracks to fit to media. For instance, I have various playlists and tend to order them with the songs I like most to the top of those various play-lists. Should I want to burn any playlist at present, I first have to "guess" how many tracks will fit, then select those and create a new playlist just for burning an audio CD. IDEA 4 Couple Idea 2 with the additional capability to burn the playlist to disc in MP3 format instead of Audio. So a disc with MP3s could be created. My recommendation is at the very least implement IDEA1. IDEA2 would put Rhythm Box on par with basic functionality provided in most other music management software and I feel is worth doing. Hopefully this will improve it and attract others to begin using this over Apple and other music mgt software.
