I do recording and I have an icebook 2001. I burn my original music on a stand alone CD burner similar to a Philips CD dubing machine. I then take the "MUSIC CDR" and put it in my ibook to rip it and make copies using toast. No matter what program I use, nothing reads the disc (I have about 6 music players too and they wont even play them) My old iMac did fine but I just sold it. It reads CDRs fine just not the "MUSIC" CDRs. Unfortuantely I have to use them on the dubing machine.

Anyone give me ANY help on this one?????

I am ripping and burning on a new QuickSilver DP800 and it works perfect. It reads the new burned CD as if it was bought from a CD shop. I did everyhing with itunes (Mac OS X version). I hope this helps. Try new brand of CDs...

ok here are my results, It reads and rips a CDR fine, BUT not "CDR MUSIC" CDs.--- Maxell music CDRs, all but the first track, --- Memorex some later tracks read but not the first few,--- TDK, NONE
All of these could be read in my old iMac but its gone now.
WTF????

Nothings ever easy

Ok, I was playing around with this today, I think Apple put a disabler in the system software. Since Legislation has changed recently about "Rip, Mix, and Burn".
Do you think they put something in that prohibits "MUSIC CDRs" from being copied????

HELP!

No problems with a TiBook and Sony music CDs that I burned on my Mac. (A good friend owns the TiBook and hasn't had any difficulty). FYI.

Do you have all the necessery extensions (Foreign file access etc.)? Try installing the Joliet Volume Access extension, you can probably find it at macupdate or versiontracker.
