Actually, the situation is less simple than you think :-)

With Pirates 1 most of the track had only 16bit of the 24bit filled with data, while the remaining 8bit were always zeroes. But there were a few (very few) parts of the audio track where suddenly those 8bit had data in them.
With Inside Man, if it's a 20bit track (which I don't know), the upper 20bit are filled with real data while the lower 4bit are always filled with zeroes.
