You could use an AOL cd to see if the drive still works right. BTW: use something rubber to pull stuff out in the future. metal things can scratch cds.

A custom burned cd might be your problem because if it also has a stick on label then that can make it thicker causing a problem.
btw should have a pic of a condom not a chicken.

How do you remove a stuck cd from a Mac Mini? Can't find anything by searching here as of yet.

I have the same problem, but work around it by gently prying open the cd-slot after dragging the cd to the trash/eject icon. This works everytime for me.
