Apologies if this has been added to the FAQ recently (it wasn't last time
I looked) or has been asked recently, but ...

How do you read the textual track listing from a standard Audio CD ?

I know that not all CDs have this information encoded in them.
I know that the Apple CD300 and it's software as supplied on the AV Macs
can do it, 'cos I've seen it.
I believe that it is stored in the P or Q sub tracks or something like
that.

Drive in question is the Sony CDU-561 SCSI drive if that is important,
(though if anyone has info that is only pertinent to the Tosh 3401/4101
that would be useful too).

Thanks,

Oh and reply by email if this has been done recently and would bore the
pants off everybody else ...
