[slinkelist] RE: Duplicate disk ID problem

[Arnold de Leon]

The fundamental problem is that the Sony changers don't provide enough
information for CDJ to calculate the full CDDB id.  Instead it has to
use a partial match to get an entry.

This is the same reason that CDJ doesn't have the option for submitting
entries into CDDB.
