That's all already contained in the 'info' file of a recording.
That's fine if only one program is intended to be recorded. What if someone wants to record a bunch of programs?
There are lots of music shows in the night between 31/12 and 01/01 of every year. With old tape recorder I just pressed REC and hope that the tape will contain as many programs as possible. In such case I would like to see all recorded programs descriptions.
