I would say no.Not that maybe one day this would not be a good idea for some.But look around.Everything does this.WinAMP even Burns and Rips Music now.....WinAMP!

With NERO and Easy CD Creator out there as the 2 Main Programs for Burning (and have been for Years).Plus I do not know how many Programs for Ripping( :) I really do not see the Point.

You said "such features as playlist compiling"?You can do this with winamp.Just set Orange to the right settings and it Queues up the Songs.

I pushed for that Feature for almost a Year it seems like.Includeing the ability to Play a whole Album before Andrei added them to Orange.So good luck in pushing for Burning and Ripping when there is alot of work needed in other areas.

*And just want to add that me and others that use Orange are always looking at ways MP3 capabilities can work best with Orange.Just look at the Scanning features and what I mentioned above.*
