If in the info box, Original = No, does that mean that the MP3 was encoded from something other than the original CD/wav?
Thank you.

I don't know what is the intended meaning for this but it's only a flag in mp3 file. LAME encoder marks all files as 'original' unless you use command line option -o.

Three bits is not needed in the decoding process at all. These are the copyright bit, original home bit and the private bit. The copyright has the same meaning as the copyright bit on CDs and DAT tapes, i.e. telling that it is illegal to copy the contents if the bit is set. The original home bit indicates, if set, that the frame is located on its original media. No one seems to know what the private bit is good for. http://www.id3.org/mp3frame.html
I don't quite comprehend the Einstein logic behind this.
Why wouldn't it be on its original media in the first place?
How's it going to know it's not on its original media?
