And why wouldn't we want to have just all of these both in the toolbar
as well as in the context menu? Just check your favorite file manager
for reference.

In Windows, yes. Anywhere else, not necessarily. In general, it's
a software which allows browsing through a medium with no
more elaborate specification how that would work in detail.

That was my original argument as well.

Well, yes, obviously.

I don't like the initials "MD" and "Tool" sounds like something to
me that I buy at a home improvement store.

So far, "MiniDisc Explorer", "MiniDisc Commander" and "MiniDisc
Manager" sound reasonable to me. When using the acronyms for
these names, "mdm" could be confusing as there is already a
Debian package.
