Hi Ron,

This is called "fuzzy logic". In short, FreeDB server looks for a specific track pattern rather than for exact match. This allows better recognition of CDs printed in different countries - they often have slightly different track lengths.

You did an accurate job cutting a recording into individual tracks, and kept songs in the same order, so the track pattern of your CD-R is so similar to the one of the official CD that FreeDB was fooled.
