Nope. Cdrtools/cdrecord can read all that stuff and tell you what you
want to know. CLI though.

I've always bought the store brands except for once (wanted "High Speed"
compatible CD). I burn 'em at full speed, test 'em carefully and can any
bad ones - very few to-date. The savings are great enough that if I have
to trash one or two, NP. Of course, if you've something more important
to do, it does cost a Little of your time and may not be worth the
savings.
