From the screenshots on the cdbakeoven page, I can only confirm that it looks 
very much like the apps the people know from windows, but on the other side: 
with kcreatecd we would not only get a working app (perhaps not as close to 
the windows stuff like cdbakeoven) but much more important: we would be sure 
that there is a least one developer in the kcreatecd project (jowenn) who 
will be contactable (beside the other devs of kreatecd) and we won'T come 
again in the koncd situation where just nobody cares about the app.

Therefor I would vote for the inclusion of kcreatecd in kdemultimdia.
CdBakeOven looks fine too, but I don'T know any of the devs of that project 
and therefor can only give my opinion about the positive sides of kreatecd.
