Put that way, I busted a gut too.  But you don't always want to know
what you are listening to in the same way.  Sometimes you just want to
know that you have the "real goods"... you want to know if you have some
crap version, or a really good one.

It's like the sourcemedia tag.  I like to know if the track came from
radio, lp, or cd.  That often gives me an indicator of the quality of
the piece.
