Yeah, I'm mystified by some of this stuff, too. Like why WMP will not recognize 
CDTEXT info. (I sent them a bug report on it 5 years ago at least.) Like how 
FLAC format does not allow for track info - you have to have a separate "cue" 
file for that. Yee gawds. The image convert program on Linux to convert between 
audio formats loses the tag information in the process.
