Hope this is the right forum for this question...

I bought two audiobooks recently and am having a problem. I wanted to rip them to iTunes and my iPod but when I insert the discs into my drive, I only get the "You inserted a blank CD" message. As such, the CD and its files don't show up in iTunes or the finder.

The drive itself seems fine - I am not having any problems playing or ripping any other CDs. And the discs play fine on my CD player (but not, oddly, on my when-all-else-fails DVD player).

Both audiobooks are produced by AudioRealms (vols 1 & 2 of "The Dark Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft" if you are curious). Do they, like Sony's old Key2Audio claptrap, have some weird no-computer function?

Is there a program out there which will scan a disc, even a presumed-blank one, for any data? Or is there some workaround if this is an intentional thing? Marker around the very edge didn't work. Maybe I have to mark even further onto the data plane?

Cheers!
