Good point. I burned it as an Audio CD so of course the tag info is gone.
However, some kind of information is carried over as I am getting track
titles. Do you know how that works? It's not CDDB lookup since I don't
have internet in the car. If track title data can be written to an audio CD
then presumably so can album and artist name info. Is this a function of
the software I burn the CD with?
