- Tracks 1, 7, 10, 11: various bootlegs. Tracks 1 and 10 clearly have heavy noise reduction applied to them, but auCDTectTaskManager still claim they are lossless audio. Tracks 7 and 11 appear to have MiniDisc in their lineage based on the MPEG conclusion reached by auCDTectTaskManager & their spectrograms.
