yes, that all makes sense and is stuff i'm already aware of. what i'm wondering about is making more human-readable reports of the CD details, *besides* the file-pair required for burning. most CD manufacturers ask for this, and a lot of mastering software on other platforms have facilities to generate such things. to be sure, it's not a big deal to put it together by hand, from the CUE or TOC, but it just seems like one more thing which could (i.e. should?) be automated. :)
I don't know of any apps that are already there, but this is what perl was made for, parsing one file and creating another with just the details required in a different format. I can't imagine any linux distro that does not have perl already installed.
I know, not the answer you wanted, but the best I can think of.
as an aside, i've always thought it's a bit silly that the manufacturers want something "pretty" to look at, since all the details are encoded on the burned CD anyways, but i guess sometimes they double-check these things...
