It's more likely that there is some ID number on every CD. At least,
in Windows CD Player, edit the tracklist for any CD and then watch
the player's .ini file - you'll see a hex number followed by track
descriptions. I tested two Cichlisuites and had the tracklist created
for the first one loading when i put the other in.
But on the other hand, it may be some form of hash number...
