We have a total of 58 songs in all the discs.

The probability of getting a song from disc 4 first is:


P=(12)/(58)=(6)/(29)

Now, the probability of getting a song fomr disc 1 second is:


P=(16)/(57)

Therefore the probability of this things happen after one another is:


P=(6)/(29)\cdot(16)/(57)=(32)/(551)=0.058
