Can't read audio CD properties

When I click on "Properties" of an audio CD Windows XP Explorer reveals zero
bytes used, zero bytes free and zero bytes capacity. How do I get the actual
number of bytes used? Windows XP Explorer does give the actual number of
bytes used on a program and / or data CD. Also, the old Windows 98 will
reveal the actual number of bytes used on both audio and data CDs.

CD Audio is a file system that Windows does not understand, so it uses
0 byte "pointers" to the audio tracks. If you pop the disc into iTunes
or similar programs, it will tell you how many MB it is.
