Hopefully that’s sarcastic.

ISRCs are so completely useless, what with:
* flaky CD drives that have trouble reading them correctly from the CD
* flaky software that has trouble reading them correctly from the CD
* flaky mastering jobs that assign wrong ISRCs, generate new ISRCs for a
compilation, and the like

I honestly don’t understand why we even bother recording this information.
