MC 11.0.90 added support for burning mp3(/wma) cd's. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
This means for example, that if you have all or part of your library in ape or ogg format but sometimes want to create mp3 (or wma) cd's for your car or portable CD player, you can do it in one easy step with MC. Just select "MP3 CD or DVD" in the first CD burning action window. Options can be set by selecting "MP3 CD options" from the options menu on the main CD burning action window.
There are a couple of things that aren't in there yet, such as mp3 vbr encoding, and it doesn't yet calculate the correct total capacity of the burned CD (it still uses the pre-transcoded file sizes for the calculation).

This is wonderfull feature. Maybe you can add a function to also convert some special characters like ü, é, č, etc... to standard characters u, e, c... on the fly when burning mp3 disc, because my portable player cannot read them. It displays blanc spaces instead witch looks ugly.
For example: Einstürzende Neubauten
Einsturzende looks better then Einst rzende

Well I guess it's only my mp3 CD portable that can't display foreign chars on its display.. I must get rid of that :)

I dont know if this is possible at this time, but it would be cool to make the mp3 cd engine allow multiple tracks so we can add/delete mp3s as we get them.
