How'd it do this?
My son recently "borrowed" my Lee Ann Womack CD. I could tell because I
found it in my room, but not where I'd left it. So I burned a copy (of just the audio session) and left it for him with a note saying to please ask me before taking my stuff. Today, I found the CD-R in the family room and popped it into the XP box next to me. A little while later, I looked over, and there was a picture of the CD cover, a list of all track times and names, and a link to buy it from MSN.com. Now, I know from past experience that CD software cannot locate a CD in the CDDB unless it is reading the pressed one. But WMP 10 not only found it based on the CDR copy, but with a very different image. The one I purchased had a data session with a video and a screen saver. This is spooky. All it had to go on was the track content. The lead-in/lead-out's were probably even different. It's played all the way through, and no RIAA SWAT team yet... -- Jim "Remember, an amateur built the Ark; professionals built the Titanic." |

But WMP 10 not only found it based on the CDR copy, but with a very different image. WMP is an accident waiting to happen. Whoops, it has happened.
