    1. I used Toast 10 Titanium (not Pro) to save an audio (red book) CD into bin/cue/cdt files.

    2. From Parallels Desktop menu -> Devices -> CD/DVD 1 -> Connect Image..., and choose the cue file created above.

    3. The audio CD appears in the virtual CD drive. So far so good. The usual XP activity menu shows up as soon as the audio CD appears, from which I selected iTunes.

    4. iTunes opens, saw the virtual audio CD, *but* failed to get track names. Yes, all the tracks are showing up, and it also plays correctly.

    5. If I load up the physical CD and compare the tracks, the problem became apparent: the track durations are different!

    bin/cue loaded into virtual CD showing in iTunes (wrong track duration; can't get track names):
    Track 01 3:58
    Track 02 4:00
    Track 03 4:00
    Track 04 4:00
    Track 05 4:00
    Track 06 4:00
    Track 07 5:00
    Track 08 4:00
    Track 09 5:00
    Track 10 5:00
    Track 11 5:01

    Real CD loaded into iTunes:

    I Know You By Heart 4:01 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Time Is A Healer 4:16 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Wayfaring Stranger 4:28 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Wade In The Water 4:04 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Blues In The Night 4:08 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Songbird 3:45 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Need Your Love So Bad 4:39 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Say Goodbye 3:57 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Nightbird 5:29 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    Waly Waly 4:45 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop
    How Can I Keep From Singing 4:28 Eva Cassidy Eva By Heart Pop

    Any idea what's going on?
