The major Windows cd burning applications burn audio CDs, and they do all
the "this many minutes left", "preview track", etc. stuff.

I really would NOT expect to find that functionality in a music player. I'd 
expect it in a CD burning application. What I'm doing is burning a CD. The 
contents of that CD should be irrelevant.
