I think not, unless you were connected to the net and it was fetching the information from the net. There *is* a code on CDs that uniquely identifies the CD, but it's gibberish, useful only as an index for one of these internet databases. (What it was originally added for I have no clue since Sony & Philips surely didn't anticipate the WWW in 1980 or so when they designed the CD, but it's nice that it's there anyway.) > > (Forgive me, I'm new at this CD-RW stuff. :-] ) > > So, I guess for audio disks that you burn yourself, you cannot > have a track index that stays on the disk and gets read by CD > players?
