Replicate this PS3 glitch so that it can be fixed!

[WriteSimply]

So here is the issue: the PS3 can't recognize an audio CD-R's extra tracks IF THE EXTRA TRACKS ARE TACKED AT THE END OF A FULL ALBUM.

Here's how I found out:

I wanted to make a copy of Marcell's Hidup (Indonesian Pop singer) album and attach songs from his first album into a CD-R. Using EAC (Exact Audio Copy), I copied the WAVs onto the HDD first then used Nero Express to arrange the tracks and burn the CD. The 10 tracks on Hidup were arranged exactly as the album while the extra six tracks are arranged AFTER the 10th track.

The ripping and burning process went without a hitch. The CD-R played fine on the PC and a DVD player. RealPlayer even read the name of the artist and album I created in Nero. However, when I put the disc in the PS3, it recognized the disc as Hidup and not as Hidup+Extra Tracks. It didn't even recognize the extra six tracks were in there! I played the 10th track and tried to skip to the 11th track and it won't let me.

So if you have the time, try to replicate this glitch so that it can be fixed with a firmware. To replicate the glitch, the original audio CD MUST be played in the PS3 first, so that the PS3 can look up the audio CD database, before you put the CD-R with the extra tracks. Thanks!
