Thanks to TweakTown.com for sending in this great tool. This software was developed to read the ATIP from a CDR media using a CD recorder - right now there's no CDROM reader that can do this (most probably at least). The ATIP tells who has manufactured the disc and what dye type they used. (The ATIP doesn't tell the exact dye type - it just tells if the recording strategy to be used for this media is a "long strategy type" (e.g. Cyanine) or "short strategy type" (e.g. Phthalocyanine).
