Hi David and James, Excellent suggestion from David! I realize that the problem may simply be an iTunes problem, especially since there have been numerous problem reports about the latest upgrade to QuickTime since the end of last week. Can you look through my earlier posts to Shaun and others about the Monday and Friday MacFixIt problem reports and solutions to the QuickTime update? (The default action for an Audio CD is to open iTunes, which uses QuickTime to play and encode).
I'm not running the latest version of QuickTime, so I wouldn't spot this. (The reason is complicated, but basically, I'm not going to update QuickTime until I can update my system to Leopard, and I have to keep Tiger running to run certain programs that have not been upgraded to Leopard. With the latest QuickTime AAC recording changed in a way that affects my audiobook recording habits, and there are fixes for Leopard, but not Tiger.) When I see odd problems of the sort James described, I check macfixit.com to find out whether there are problem reports associated with upgrades. You can read the last three days' worth of posts without a subscription. My QuickTime problem posts excerpt some of the relevant troubleshooting reports.
