well it seems there not much interest in it then, no need to develop it.

don't be fooled by a couple of opinions, i think there is great demand for such a tool!!!
of course, this tool is needed sooner or later (and sooner is always better). please, keep it up.

BadSector, Your idea is great, but I cannot really help you a lot in the developing!
I wished I would have more time...
Here is my suggestion and what I think about it.
Data track titles only (is really simple)
Adventures of Alundra, The (E) [SLES-01135].bin
Alundra (J) [SCPS-10035].bin
Alundra (U) (v1.1) [SLUS-00553].bin
//PACK & UNPACK
//When no audio tracks found ---> pack or unpack chosen titles!
Titles with ALL IDENTICAL AUDIO tracks (is simple too)
Resident Evil 2 (E) (Disc 1) (Leon Disc) (Track 1) [SLES-00972].bin
Resident Evil 2 (G) (Disc 1) (Leon Disc) (Track 1) [SLES-00974].bin
Resident Evil 2 (U) (Disc 1) (Leon Disc) (Track 1) [SLUS-00421].bin
(E)(SLES-00972),(G)(SLES-00974),(U)(SLUS-00421) (Track 2).bin ***my favorite
//
PACK (audio)
//The tool should known that audio tracks are identical (by checking checksums).
//Remove whole title name and leave (Track #).bin only, then append all country codes.
//
//1. (E),(G),(U) (Track 2).bin
//
//In case of that, there are identical country codes with different languages, append all codes and additional serials.
//2. (E)(serial),(E)(serial),(G),(U) (Track 2).bin
//
//Or should we append serials for each country code???
//I think it is the BEST SOLUTION for all cases !
//3. (E)(serial),(G)(serial),(U)(serial) (Track 2).bin
//
UNPACK (audio)
//In this case removing unneeded country codes and serials, suspended automatically by the tool.
//
//Example:
//---> get chosen country code, for example (U)
//---> get whole name from file (U) (Track 1)
//---> replace Track
number, and unpack.
Titles with SOME SIMILAR AUDIO tracks (is a little bit complicated)
//I will edit it later when I have more time
