You are correct that Justice came up with this idea and tried to push it as
some new "standard." I would assume nobody cared and they forgot about it. A
friend of mine has a copy of that Twisted Willie disc so I might take a
listen to the hidden track (and thats it).
On a *somewhat* similar note, if you hit the "Time/Text" button on any of
the newer Sony component CD players while playing a Sony CD, the track
titles will appear in the window display. Tried it with the latest
Grooverider disc and it does work. Its a nice little feature that should
become more common. Of course, this also suggests that these Sony discs are
some sort of hybrid format with a small segment of computer data on them.
