To other Mac owners who sometimes use iTunes to make CD-R music discs. Sunday I decided to made a new record of various tunes which were in my library folder. I opened a new playlist, named it, and proceeded to shuffle tunes from my library list to the new playlist. I put on 23 tunes which iTunes said would cover 1:16 minutes, well with in the limit of the disc. I pushed the record button, and when prompted to do so, added the CD, and recorded the playlist. While it was recording, I opened a beer.
Not long afterward, I put this new CD-R into a disc player, to see if it turned out OK. Much to my surprise, somehow an extra tune appeared on the finished record. The really strange thing about this record, is that it is not even in my library! The only connection with this orphan song that mysteriously appeared (the tune was Swinging on a Star by Bing Crosby) is that I had put another tune into my library several hours before from the same commercial CD, this being Bing?s version of Deep in the Heart of Texas. The latter was number 11 on the commercial disc, whereas the former was number 10. I checked my library tune list several times; I have only one Bing Crosby song, and it is Deep in the Heart of Texas. Monday I decided to make another recording from the same playlist, and volla- it was perfect. It did not include the orphan version of Swinging on a Star. Normally I would think that I just lost my senses, but I played the first recording three times, and the orphan song is still present. It took the number five spot, between two other tunes on my playlist. I should also mention that the playlist did not include the other Bing Crosby song that is in my library. No big deal, as I only wasted a cheap CD and five minutes of time, but the mystery has me puzzled, and I would like to know how it happened, Anyone have any ideas?
