she plays it for her dad from her own cell.
She plays it from the house phone in the kitchen--it's a cordless handset in it's recharging base--using the base speaker.
I think it could go either way. If the message was forwarded to the house account voicemail, Keith would have had access to it, and could burn it to CD. If the message was on Veronica's cellphone voicemail, then she dialed it up and played it for Keith using the house phone, and he wouldn't have access to it.
Unless Keith knows Veronica's voicemail PIN, which is possible.
Yeah, I'm not sure how he got the message onto a CD, because I can't believe that Keith thought the CD Veronica planned to have played at Homecoming was of the people in the bus crash falling to their deaths. Even Veronica's not that psychotic.
how he got the message onto a CD
Holding the phone up to a computer's mic. and recording from there would be the simplest way. Crude, and there would be some loss of quality, but it would work.
how he got the message onto a CD
Run a patch cord from the phone's earphone jack to the line-in jack on the computer. Really not that difficult. I've done the same thing to rip tracks off of vinyl or cassette.

You're right. My point was that it was from a phone and not from a CD. It looked like she called into her voicemail and got it. I suppose it's possible that Keith has her pin, but it would surprise me.
It's not how the technical method he used to get the message onto CD that bothers me; it's how he got access to the message in the first place.
He hit the redial button, and he learned what the PIN was by listening to the tones. Because, uhm, he's Keith Mars!
I don't think Keith mixed up the CDs, but I am irritated that in this episode and the one with the fat guy rolling up on the beach their script editor isn't watching for this stuff. If there's a CD that's a big part of one scene and a CD that's a big part of the next scene and you have to guess that the next scene's CD is different-- use a freaking minitape.
You know, if I were Keith Mars -- or at least a parent with a daughter who'd been through so much as Veronica, and seemed as likely to see out danger -- I'd have my kid in serious therapy. And drive her to the appointment and wait in the waiting room every week.
What I was trying to say earlier was when Keith said something about "This investigation...", my immediate reaction was "Oh, Keith is secretly carrying on his own investigation into the bus crashtacular. Much like he did for young Lilly Kane. It isn't much like Keith to involve the sherriff in every little aspect.
Double post because of a double espresso. My mistakes.
