I'm not sure that's what's being requested here. When I rip a CD with
cdda2wav, I get a significant amount of info off the CD into the ".inf"
files. I think that's what's desired here. Since in some cases I'm ripping
on a machine totally without network connection, it is definitely NOT
coming from anywhere but the CD itself.
