I'd say if there are *any* audio tracks, it's worth doing a CDDB lookup. 
Sometimes the order is reversed, e.g. game CDs that have a red-book 
audio soundtrack after the track with the game data. Sometimes there
are even multiple data tracks (e.g. one for Mac, one for Windows).

Cool -- should be no trouble. I'll post back in a couple of days. I can
probably provide a few more test cases too, for other kinds of
data/audio hybrid.

Thanks!
