Thanks for the info Don. Wired magazine has reported that

(Editor's note: This story corrects an earlier report that stated that the Macintosh operating system had become a target of a malicious Trojan Horse.)

Security experts on Friday slammed security firm Intego for exaggerating the threat of what the company identified as the first Trojan for Mac OS X

Hmmm--a new kind of "Easter Egg"! LOL

Sadly it sounds very reasonable, because iTunes can easily change the tags of all my mp3s, so a trojan need only tell it to do so.
*autsch*

I don't think it is an easter egg.

But what I just read suggests, that OSX sees the file as an Application in that case, so any mp3 appearing as an application might be a trojan.
