Every time i have tried to import a disc id with one of these it has shown
up as an additional track with no way to delete it.  It doesn't allow the
track to be deleted either.  It requires a name.  I've had to just give up
and not save my changes.

As far as where to find the documentation,  i really don't know.  It would
be nice to search for "enhanced cd" or similar terms that they are called
in the industry.

So when you are using libdiscid (directly or indirectly, Picard uses<br>
libdiscid) it does the right thing. If you use something else, there<br>
