@lauriewired Many Japanese stamped classical music CDs use several indexes in a single track to mark different parts of the composition
English

There's a hidden spec in physical CDs that most won't notice.
- Many audio players won't rip it.
- It gets skipped over when selecting a specific track
- It only gets read when playing continuously from beginning to end
What is it? Audio pregap data!
Many live CDs creatively used this optional data sector to add in live audience/crowd noise between tracks.
Listening to the album all the way through would have the crowd noise between songs, whereas jumping around different tracks would skip this optional section, as it's placed before the track index.
Isn't that neat? I wonder what interesting data you could hide in that optional area.
