Re: [Traverso-devel] CD Cover

[ben levitt]

I like the idea of allowing exporting the track list in multiple
formats (text, html, csv, etc), but I don't think we should try to
create a built-in cover creator/editor.  I feel like people either
just want the text and don't care about the layout much, or they're
going to be really picky.  The first group of people can just export
to text and print, and the other group will not be happy with anything
short of inkscape/illustrator/photoshop.

I guess we could add printing a simple tracklist as one of the export
methods...  :)

I guess I feel like we should focus on polishing up the audio editing
user interface before we add cool extras like this...

Just my $0.02.
