I didn't think this was that obscure. I made heaps of MP3 CDs full of video game music for my long drives to/from college. It was all both intuitive and easy for me - like the video shows you just copy the files on the disc and burn it.
What was really nice about these (and wasn't mentioned by Alec) is that the smaller song size meant most or all of a song could be stored in the anti skip buffer.
