First am still not sure how the track details work.

AFAIK even when winamp or other windows media players have been
offline they are still able to get / show the trackand album details
(basically name of the song etc) Even in the days when we (as in where
i am) did not have internet we got the track details which would mean
they are stored somewhere on the disc itself. So why can't we just get
that info.

Second (maybe unrelated) why can't i browse an Audio CD like a
regualar disc ??
