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.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.

She plays it from the house phone in the kitchen--it's a cordless handset in it's recharging base--using the base speaker.
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!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

One Hot Burrito!
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.

Teddy Dunn actually did a smashing job
Agreed.
I was shocked to realize that when Veronica/Duncan suffers its sudden yet inevitable demise, I will be sad.
I will too. Duncan is growing on me in a big way. Especially because he is trying to patch things up with Logan and because he didn't react with jealousy when Veronica ran to break up Jackie and Logan. (I love me some enraged!Veronica.)
I thought Keith gave Lamb the voicemail message.
Alicia was really dumb to not make more effort to explain to Wallace what she did and why especially regrading the letters/lying about giving his Dad a choice - but just taking off with your sketchy-past-having BioDad across country? That's ker-azee. Is Wallace 18? Would BioDad be worried about kidnapping charges?
So - I was packing while I watched and didn't tape - did Jackie tell the Psychic about Lilly? I thought I heard her deny it, but who else would? And Lilly wouldn't actually be pissed about Veronica/Logan - would she?
