[Cube] Burners

[atoa at krak.net]

Well, I just tried it with my LaCie external Firewire burner, and it seems 
to be working fine.

But, the process will take well over an hour, including importing time.
With toast, it would take 2 or three minutes.
Perhaps iTunes has a way to copy without importing, which would reduce the 
time required, but I didn't see it. And even the burning process itself is 
much longer than with Toast.
