Remove Losthfmix

[Robert Gould]

During recent update for Toast 11, my iMac was infected with Lost th mix. It has this effect when burning music to CD. Disc title is changed to Lostthmix and song title is changed to Losthfmix/Newwave.flav. I think file is hidden. What is the way to delete this probelm?

I don't think this is an infection. When a burned audio CD is first inserted in the Mac, the Mac searches an online database (known as Gracenote and CDDB) to find if there is information about a CD that has the same number of tracks and track lengths as the one you inserted. When there is a match the information in the database is downloaded to the Mac's cdinfo database file and shows as the disc's album and track info. The way to change misinformation is to select the tracks in iTunes, choose Get Info and then enter the correct information. This replaces the misinformation in the cdinfo database. Of course, when you insert the CD in a different computer it also will download the wrong information.

 

Toast writes CD Text to audio CDs but Macs don't read CD Text. At dougscripts.com there is a CD Text to cdinfo applescript that can automate the process of correcting the misinformation via the iTunes Scripts menu.
