Do you hear the "Copy Rights" Helicopters over your home yet?

In all seriousness, That seems rather unexplainable

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes were ahead of their time!


Reach up and touch the sky!

WOOHOOOO!!!

I had a similar experience when I converted an old album from Night (who had a hit song called "Hot Summer Nights" in 1979). Not only did iTunes supply me with album art and metadata tags but they suggested that I go back to my attic and convert John Stewart's "Bombs Away Dream Babies" to MP3 as well.

When you used the CD burning software, it is possible you used a program that named the tracks and the playlist (album) in a format on the CD that Itunes could later "read."

I've seen a few programs over the years that will do this.

What do you mean "were"? We're all booked to be in Hollywood Florida on March 26 to see him with the kids in tow.

I suppose that's possible, but I sure have no recoleciton of doing so. I do remember that the software was Adaptec (sp?). I looked at the volume label on the CD and it's something like "Audio Disk".

Wow this is series! Hugh series! My beeber is literately stuned.

But cerially, SSJ and the AD did a real nice spot on the season 1 dvd of sctv.

Here's an interesting experiment, try recreating the situation, see if you get the same results.

I LOVE HIM!!!

Saw him 27 times ....

I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone

I think the CDDB uses the lengths of every track to calculate the most probably match from its database.

I must congratulate you on a perfect conversion from vinyl to CD.

(And don't be surprised at what CDDB has in its databases.)

It sounds like Acoustical Song Recognition.

Damn, Bombs Away Dream Babies is one of my favorite albums. The name of the album was suggested by the man he replaced in the Kingston Trio, Dave Guard.

Stewart, a polished songwriter and musician, spent many days on the road playing at NCO and Officer Clubs overseas.

Did you ever type the name of the artist and album (forget about tracks, etc.) when creating the CD?

[Cvengr]

You must've forgotten to change the drive train belt on the turntable from the last time somebody listened to LPs played backwards. This in turn communicated your intent to copy songs into digital format and fallen angels did the rest.

If upon further introspection, you still find no plausible explanation, I'd advance one area to seriously consider.

Some things such as what is described, are every once and a while, a tipoff of spiritual things or possibly a consequence of faith and the providence of God. If not by His hands, if you believe in Him and have faith in Him, then such an event fits is to His plan for you, regardless of what person may have been involved.

Lots of things like this occur daily, they are just frequently considered a mistaken notion or discarded as mistaken perception. If people placed more faith in God and truth continually, such events would provide more manifestation of His providence.

Audio Waveform Recognition (audio fingerprints)

Audio Waveform Recognition Technology
Using audio waveform fingerprint technology, MusicID can identify individual songs or albums in a user's collection regardless of source, format or tag information.

Consumers simply hold up their phone anywhere the music is playing?in a bar, at a party or on the radio. Then a short clip of the music, from any section of the song, is matched to Gracenote?s global database of audio fingerprints and music information. Once identified, Gracenote Link? can be used to automatically connect the user to related content for hearing, viewing and purchase. Music fans get fast access to ringtones, full tracks, videos and all the content that makes mobile music fun.

Speaking of waveforms, Apple ought to start selling iPods that do waveform analysis for shuffle-mode song selections, to get better segues.

That would be nice! Send 'em an email.

The CDDB probably has info for the songs you digitized.
iTunes and Win Media Player likely found this info quickly through an online search and then returned it to your PC.
This online function can actually be turned off for Win Media Player.

Though it may never have been released on CD, the album info is held within the CDDB database.

The results of my search at Gracenote (Formerly CDDB):

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes / In The Heat

Track Title
1.	Love Goes To War
2.	New Romeo
3.	Love Is The Drug
4.	Captured
5.	I Can't Live Without Love
6.	Over My Head
7.	Don't Look Back
8.	Tell Me Lies
9.	Action Speaks Louder Than Words
10.	New Coat Of Pain

This is truly incredible. Based on the Gracenote theory, I decided to push the limits. I have a bootleg CD sent to me from some kind chick I made internet contact with once. It’s really poor quality (Like your average Dead bootleg) so I never play it. It's obviously made on a hand tape recorder and is probably mono. Often times the wind is louder than the music. It is labeled by hand with marker: “Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes 'JukeStock' Disk One Tintal Falls, NJ 3-03-01” Within seconds of inserting it I saw this:

Every song listing is correct. Theories?

Two things to try: PUT UP A FIREWALL (your computer should not be able to get information to the outside world without your consent) and if that fails, keep your burning system offline altogether.
