interesting. every track on cd's has their own id, called isrc number,
if i recall right, as well as the cd has it's own id.
but how this has happened:
1. he didn't forget that last night he already entered that information
in CDDB.
2. he actually copied the cd, not the vinyl
3. this can't be true.
4. blair witch has her hands on this
5. x-men live
6. whatever truth means nothing
