CT_GAPLESS_DATA ... what and who created?

A very few of my files - all demos, so they may have originated from the same tape collector once upon a time - has this tag. I got curious. What it is and what created it?
I found this: https://github.com/myers/pyid3/blob/master/test/test_samples230.py

Code: [Select]
            # EVIL HACK
            # don't check files that have a TXXX 'CT_GAPLESS_DATA' frame
            # these were written by some buggy software that didn't put the
            # unicode BOM on the COMM comment

Not that I am too bothered about the non-gapless tape hiss in between the music, but ... still curious.
