Yeah this is indeed a bit of a problem.
I think one either should use a Song as a CD Track, or only one Song in a 
Project, and use the markers to create the cd layout....
Well, that is, to keep it transparent for the user him/herself :)

Heh. of course! You're a genius, remember!

OK, cool!

I'll test it out real soon, since accidentally I'm playing a bit with the CD 
export as well.
That is, adding a CD Burn tab in the export dialog.....
Works well so far, though I'm not sure if parsing the output of cdrdao will be 
solid enough in case it uses multilingual output on stdout....

Oh well, we'll find out quickly enough I guess....

Thank you too!
It's very handsome to export to cd right from the application, and this is one 
step closer to that goal!
