There is already a labelling standard which is, unfortunately, in very
limited use.  Some manufacturers have a three-letter code that tells whether
the original recording, the mixing, and the mastering was done in analog
or digital modes, e.g., ADD = Analog recording, Digital mixing, and Digital
mastering.  I would like for this to be standard and required on the OUTSIDE
label of every CD.  As for the total playing time, most of them do display
it, but inside the package.
