I'm trying to backup my old Mail folders onto CD from the Finder, which has worked just prior to Tiger.

I'm also interested in playing with the new Burnable Folder feature.

I suppose I should try burning a CD in iTunes but honestly I don't need to make a music CD...

All I know for now is that Finder doesn't let me burn...

Update: I rebooted and the blank CD mounts but now there are errors when burning...coaster city...hm...
