Each time I put in a CD now, to read or to import tunes from the discs I enter invariably get a ring that seems to be scratched on them at the same place. When I try to import songs from commercially purchased CDs it eventually stops at a later track, gets stuck (but keeps on spinning) and stops importing. I have to quit iTunes to get the disc out and when I try to import the same track, same thing happens: stuck. But when I restart iTunes and import the next track (after the one it gets stuck on... which I assume is the one where the ring gets written on the disc) it works.

Thoughts? I would hate to be stuck with an expensive shiny lemon.

Thanks.

Sounds like a bad CD writer. It shouldn't scratch a ring on media likr you describe. if it is less than a year old it will be covered under warranty.
