Hahaha ;)
If only it was so easy as to "find the secret data".
It's probably a complicated calculation from some sector/audio track sizes
etc. pp.
Everything I tried didn't work. Period. :(

So in short: If somebody actually *knew* what the algorithm is,
I'd be very delighted.

Note that we had the same problem with the serial number algorithm for data
only CDs, too. We solved that via VMWare tracing.
Maybe we should try it again...
