That's probably correct. I wonder what it takes to examine that information from Windows. Windows explorer seems to recognize an audio CD and obscure any detail or tags.

Your comment about Dead tapes is wrong

I just remember college days hearing Dead Heads listening to the most God awful bootlegs. Probably had something to do with chemicals in the bloodstream, but it sounded unlistenable to me under the same toxicological conditions.

It all comes down to the equipment used....a little hand held cassette recorder with the built in mic will give you a terrible recording.When I was really into the Dead and live tapes (81-84) you had people with sony D5 cassette decks plugged into really good sennheiser or nakamichi microphones on a 10 foot stand- the results were quite good. Especially outdoor shows- you would be amazed if you heard these recordings-- Here is one you can sample---( click on stream show -Hi Fi) just to check the quality-

I am just learning how to record cds on my computer and was transfering stuff yesterday and saw all the track listings on the boot cds...I saw your thread and couldn't believe it was there--strange coincidence!
