That is really overkill. With trackwrite you formats the track as well. You need to specify * for the label, as the book says: "An asterisk to indicate that no label is present, e.g., a fresh temporary disk." If you want more excitement in life, a simple pipe like this will reveal the label (if any) pipe trackread 191 0 0 | trackdeblock | strfind x0000000003 | spec 13.6 | append literal * | var llb Rob
