Any Thoughts On This?
I have a factory pressed Cam CD "Roulez Jeunesse!" (Jean-Marie Senia). When I copy it to my computer, the image of "Varese Sarabande 25th Anniversary Celebration" appears. Some of the titles are in Japanese and in no way relate to this disc. The music is the same as the Cam CD. It's not a computer virus, that's for sure. I don't even own the Varese Disc and have no other problems copying any other disc.
Anyone know what the cause is?
Bought this disc several years ago in Lakeland, Florida. A pretty good haul that day. The place had tons of $2.99 (buy one get one free) CD's from a California music chain that went out of business. I could'nt believe what I was grabbing that day. Several Cam discs, a few limited edition Morricone scores, "First Men In The Moon" on Cloud Nine and some other stuff!
Here's a track from "Roulez Jeunesse!"...

I've had Roulez Jeunesse for some time and never put it into my computer and never experienced any problem.
I know it's a silly response but it's the best I can come with at 3 a.m. -- it's probably an error in some online database which your CD playing software uses to automatically recognize audio CDs.

I agree with Dorian that this looks like a database error. Do you use iTunes / Gracenote, knives?

(Dorian) That's most likely what's happened. Didn't think about the glitch being in the search process. Thought it was something within the disc itself. Varese Sarabande in the early 80's imported vinyl scores on French labels and included a little sticker with their logo on the back covers.
(Coma) I download my discs to windows media center. The ins and outs beyond that are a mystery to me.
It's amazing to be able to store hundreds of recordings on a laptop and be able to carry so much music in hand. Better than bringing boxes of CD's along in the backseat during a road trip.
Had all of my discs copied to my music file several months ago then improperly did a restore and lost every last one. So I'm in the process of doing it all over again.

I've just finished ripping my collection of a thousand or so CDs, and came across this 5 to 10 times... Each disc has a "disc ID" encoded on it, and mostly they're unique. For the odd unusual disc(not rare or anything, just uncommon, but mostly factory-pressed promos and Australian CD singles), the ID matches something else in freedb (and, presumably, other databases), and you might get several matches to boot. Burn your own audio disc and then see what Gracenote thinks it is for an example. The term "hash collision" probably sums it up, although I don't know how these disc IDs are created.
Edit: this was probably implicit, but when you put it your computer to rip, the disc ID is looked up on freedb, Gracenote or where ever, and what you get back is the track listing of that ID from that database. It looked up your Senia CD and the ID matched Varese's 25th Ann disc (which of the 4 discs?) and so that was the track list that you got back.
