I'm not sure if this should be posted in the iMac forum or this one.

I have a CD that for some reason isn't reading.

The CD is totally clean and there's no reason why it shouldn't read in my iMac.

The CD is Mudhoney - Under a billion suns

Any idea why it is not reading and any ideas on how to get it to read?

Thanks!

Yes in a PC I have and in my CD player.

What happens when you insert it? Does it try to spin up a few times and then spit it back out? I have a few CDs that behave that way in my iBook and PowerBook...the slot-loading drives can be picky about discs. I had to resort to using my old tray-loading iBook in order to rip those few CDs (less than 1% of my collection).

Yes.

It spins up, at least that seems like that's what it is doing then it spits it out.

Sounds like I'm just SOL on this disc. :(

Import on your PC and copy if that is possible

Yeah that looks like what I'm gonna have to do.
