rhythmbox cd burning is not intuitive, requires creating a playlist

[Thrift]

right now it is not possible to burn albums or arbitrary collections of songs from the library to an audio cd. you have to create a playlist in order to burn the songs. this should be handled better.

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

1)lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Rekease: 8.04

2)apt-cache policy rhythmbox
0.11.5-0ubuntu8

3) I expect to be able to right click on an album in the Album view and select, "burn" or "create cd" or something like that.

4) Right clicking on the album does nothing. I had to know to use the shift key to select every song in the album and then right click the selected list and choose Add to playlist -> New Playlist, give it a name, find the playlist in the far left list, right click on that and select Create Audio CD. Once it was done i had to also remove this playlist to get back to the original state.

This seems pretty easy to fix and is not at all intuitive at the moment.

Thank you for your bug report, there is already a similar request upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153559

i have the problem that rhythmbox cannot burn arbitrary collections of songs to cd, but requires an actual playlist. is this covered by this bug or should i open a new one?

PS: it is obviously covered by the upstream bug.
