:) Ok, You're right. We can leave perfect audio playing for a future 
release. Anyway I would like to not block editing, as the average user 
can't understand why he/she can't reorder tracks while playing (you can 
do this with most mp3 players). So at least this blocking should not be 
present the the (future) track list child.

I'm currently working on making the CD duplication a project, this way 
you don't need a project or a chooser open. And this way you have access 
to menus (configuration, new project, open...).

In the way doing this, I'm redesigning the interface a bit. The idea is 
to put the most used/simple features in front and the less in a dialog. 
I will also want to hide the "bus, id and lun" info in the CList, not 
remove them, but make it an options in the (still to be created) 
preferences dialog and default to hide them. People that like this info 
will be able to show it.

Is there a standard way to get/set the reading speed of a scsi cdrom? I 
would like to be able to do so. Also for writing, I know we have already 
discussed this, but I have a clean solution now :).

See you.
