This is truly incredible. Based on the Gracenote theory, I decided to push the limits. I have a bootleg CD sent to me from some kind chick I made internet contact with once. It’s really poor quality (Like your average Dead bootleg) so I never play it. It's obviously made on a hand tape recorder and is probably mono. Often times the wind is louder than the music. It is labeled by hand with marker: “Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes 'JukeStock' Disk One Tintal Falls, NJ 3-03-01” Within seconds of inserting it I saw this:

Every song listing is correct. Theories?

Two things to try: PUT UP A FIREWALL (your computer should not be able to get information to the outside world without your consent) and if that fails, keep your burning system offline altogether.

I have many many bootleg recordings and quite a few have the information you described on them. At some point somebody encoded the info onto the cd , thats why it is there.
I have been collecting boots for over 25 years, some are very poor quality as you say, but many are excellent.
It all depends on the equipment used....if a tape was made with a little recorder using the built in mic than it will suck.
Your comment about Dead tapes is wrong- (as a former Dead Head)- I have many live tapes recorded on high end equipment that is simply amazing- better than commercially released albums.
I use to record bands live and you would be surprised at the sound quality, especially today. Digital recorders plugged into $ 5,000 studio microphones- I have many Dylan, Van Morrison, ect....live cds that are simply spectacular and encoded with track listings .

Truly fascinating.

But, I have found the answer.

You have officially been assimilated into the iTunes/iPod cult. Not a bad place to be.

Because somebody with the same bootleg added the track info into the music database, making your life easier.
