So, we need two views on the contents of a CD, one logical (the nice one
with names) and a physical. We either can code that difference in a
directory name, or in the protocal. I suggest the former, so that each
track has two URLs:
audiocd:/physical/track01.cda
audiocd:/<Title of CD>/<Name of Track 1>.wav

Were the second directory only is available, when there is CDDB info
(either locale or remote).


Ciao,
Michael.
