CD drive problem :(

I'm trying to import some CDs on my MBP, but itunes gets stuck around the last few tracks. I can hear the CD drive making a repeated spinning/clicking noise that keeps staring and stopping, but no progress on importing the track. i've tried this w/ multiple cds too.

is this likely a problem w/ my drive? i'm guessing it is and i'll have to apple care it. if so, which has faster turn around time, calling apple care or taking it in to a genius bar?

UPDATE: I tried some more CDs and they're importing fine. Its just a few random ones that are causing problems. They're actual purchased (not burned) CDs and are completely scratch free.

 

has anyone noticed problems w/ non-burned, purchased music cds? its wierd b/c usually its a certain track that won't import properly, but somtimes other tracks cause problems as well. its all readly random.

it might still be the picky nature of the cd drive though, b/c the cds i'm having trouble w/ are produced by some real obscure record label. maybe they're using low quality discs or something. who knows.

 

i dunno if i should ask apple to replace my drive or not, especially since the LG ones have problems too apparently. any suggestions? i guess it can't get worse...i hope.
