Some games use an audio track as a data track (1st track usually). When used in an audio CD player, this track should result in silence and need to be skipped to continue audio playback.
All Sega CD/Mega CD games use red book audio, so there is no need to tag them.
Some games ignored which CD was in drive, so players could replace the game CD with one of their own to suit their own musical tastes better.
Other games provided music in other additional format(s) if the player wanted to in addition to Redbook, such as midi, removing the need for the CD to be in drive.

Interplay, Knowledge Adventure and GT Interactive published most of these games.
