 One thing that has always annoyed me about song catalogs for the various CD
 players is that you cannot identify the CD's just by looking at the filenames -
 ID10300A32042737 is totally meaningless*. :(  So I decided to knock up this
 little AREXX script.

 Most of these CD players allow you to add/edit the song files. The file is
 usually an ASCII file with the following format:

     Artist
     CD Title
     Song 1
     Song 2
     ..etc

 This script reads the first two lines of these song files and writes them both
 as a filenote to the file. This makes it easier to identify a particular CD
 song file - especially using DOpus 5 or similar.

 This script has been tested with the song files supplied and/or created
 with the following CD players:

  CEED
  MCDPlayer
  SkandalfoCDP12

 It should work with other programs that use the same format for the song files.

 You may have to alter the FileStart variable if the files do not begin with
 'ID'. See script for example.

 * ID10300A32042737 is actually 'Runaway Horses' by Belinda Carlisle
