yvanzo: I forget exactly, but I think it's not a reliable way to know how long the track actually is

you know where the first track starts so the maximum length it can be, but not that it uses the entire length

Sounds reasonable, I actually never had such CD in my hands.

if you have a cue file from the cd which has the 'INDEX 00' lines, you can use those to figure it out

but that info isn't part of the cd toc sent to musicbrainz

I think?

kepstin should try to find a hardware cd player to test some of this stuff out

samj1912: I have no comment to make - we need to look at "Blame" and see who coded this work-around.

i'm pretty sure there is a minimum length of 2 seconds for the track 1 pre-track gap, the question is whether the cd players go to sector 0 or 150 or something else or variable when doing a back-seek from the start of track 1.

Sophist-UK: hmm, looks like luks did, about 10 years ago :P
If it uses functions no longer available in Py3 we don;t have much choice to remove it and then do some testing with various default browsers to confirm functionality still works.

Sophist-UK: it works from what I tested

sam1912, zas, anyone else: My PICARD-1043 solution saves integers for movement-number and movement-total, but tryng to save them as strings breaks on Mutagen 1.23 and as integers breaks on Mutagen 1.24. I guess there is a fix needed to Mutagen. <sigh> But off to bed now, so it will need to wait until another day.
