yes, that all makes sense and is stuff i'm already

wondering about is making more human-readable reports of the CD details,
*besides* the file-pair required for burning. most CD manufacturers ask for
this, and a lot of mastering software on other platforms have facilities to
generate such things. to be sure, it's not a big deal to put it together by
hand, from the CUE or TOC, but it just seems like one more thing which could
(i.e. should?) be automated. :)
I don't know of any apps that are already there, but this is what perl was
made for, parsing one file and creating another with just the details
required in a different format. I can't imagine any linux distro that does
not have perl already installed.
I know, not the answer you wanted, but the best I can think of.
as an aside, i've always thought it's a bit
silly that the manufacturers want
something "pretty" to look at, since all the details are encoded on the
burned CD anyways, but i guess sometimes they double-check these things...
Accounting folk can't read TOC?
