Abstract
Various methods and systems provide a media player application that is integrated with CD burning functionality. In some embodiments, the CD burning functionality is accessed via a collection of application program interfaces (APIs) that are called by the media player application. The media player application and APIs can be incorporated within an operating system. Because of the integration between the media player application and the CD burning functionality, the user can be provided with a great deal of feedback during the CD burning process. In one embodiment, a user interface (UI) provides a single pane through which a user can access the media player application and its CD burning functionality. Feedback can be provided to the user via the single pane UI.
