After I am done burning a playlist in iTunes I will see the burned CD icon on the desktop, but I will also see the 'Untitled CD' on the desktop too. If I hit eject the CD will eject, leaving the Untitled CD icon still on the desktop. I have to right click on the CD and hit eject to get it off the desktop.

Yep, I believe that's what we call a 'feature' . I find it a pain as well - it didn't happen to me before Panther, but it seems to be just another one of those things with crappy response from Finder!

This happens to me. It's not the worst problem in the world.
iBook G4: 800mhz, 640mb, 40gb ("Astrid")
iPod: 30gb Photo ("Gordon"), 1gb Shuffle ("Tinker Bell")
For the record: I am female

Same here. Only a slight annoyance for me, but it is another indicator of Finder's lack of polish.

From what I can tell, this usually happens when you select "Open Finder" from the dialog box when you insert a blank CD. My girlfriend does this all the time. She'll throw in a blank disc, select open Finder, then go back to iTunes and burn a playlist. The icon is left because of the earlier selection. That's my guess though.

That may fix it. I had set the option to 'Open Finder' automatically, so I didn't get that pop-up box everytime. I just switched it to ignore. Hopefully that will fix the annoyance.
