I have converted downloaded MP3 tracks to .WAV and added them to the WMP library. They all play and have the correct properties but the track times do not show up on the list, so I can't burn them onto audioCD - WMP will only burn a track if it "knows" the track time.

"Help" suggests it will get to know if I first play the track.

This doesn't work. It's doing my head in! Any ideas?

Some very groovy swamp rock was heard every time the DJ (Clint Eastwood) drove along the Pacific Coast Highway, and he also announced it on his show as being by "the Gator Creek Organisation" - which doesn't seem to exist.

Who performed the music and what was it?

As a kid messing around with some chemicals many years ago, I mixed Potassium Permanganate , Sodium Bicarbonate, and maybe a bit of water in a test tube. Nothing happened for a while, then suddenly the test tube got so hot I had to drop it, while a bubbling frothing black mess boiled out of the tube.

What was the mystery reaction ?

remember,

sorry I failed to appreciate the depth and subtlety of your question - I was worn out going thru a mass of really idiotic questions and was getting rather impatient. I should have known better, being a former student of Professor Dirac!

And I have the most enormous respect for Mistress Bekki's always well-considered answers.
