Cd-drive Doesnt Read Certain Audio Cds, Problem with Cd drive Options

[monsun]

Hi! Im very angry, cause I have a very strange prob. I have a Dual G4 867 and a integrated CD R-W and DVD - R Drive. Im running on Panther.
2 Days ago I put a Audio-CD in my Drive, but he doesnt read, so I tried another one ... he doesnt read, another one ..... he reads, I put a DVD in .... he reads, I put a Blank-CD in, and I can burn and he is reading.
Now the thing is that the Cds he doesnt read are bought CDs (Björk - Post, redHotChilliPeppers- Californication) and i imported them in iTunes on the same Computer 1 or a half year ago.

I already used the HardDisk-Applications ---> no Errors.
I dont know what it is, someone of u had a Problem like this be4 ?
Help me please.

Regards, monsun.

If your cd-drive is what apple calls a super-drive that is capable of burning the dvd-r--format..
It may not be able to read any other dvd-format either - this is just a guess on my part., you'd have to check with Apple/AppleKB-base.

Unfortunately there is sometimes trouble reading certain home-made cd-roms, depending upon diiferent fault tolerances in the burn-mechanisms them selves in various brands of cd-burners.
These errors may be both mechanical and electronic - in short - your drive will continue
having trouble reading cd:s from certain brands and/or models of cd:s.

If your troubles continue I would recommend having your burner swapped.
If you have the opportunity to test an external burner of another brand, you may be able to pinpoint your troble a little better.
