That leaves me with a puzzle. It did a very good
job of copying including the text names of all of
the tracks.
But those names aren't in the "info" files. If I
write in my own names into the info files rather
than leaving the values for diskname and trackname
as "", I get no value.
I can't figure out where that stuff is stored.
