DVD Superdrive won't "see" aiff files on storebought CD

[lumine01]

I purchased a music CD through Amazon, which also includes a bonus video track as well.

When I insert the CD, the computer doesn't recognize any of the audio (aiff) files on the CD. When opening the CD image, the only thing displayed is the bonus video track in its mpg format. The video is 23.2MB in size, and if I click on "get info" for the CD image, it just tells me that its capacity is 669.7MB, with 669.7MB used, and 0KB available.

The disc is a storebought (non-CD +/- R/RW/etc) CD which plays fine in other standalone CD and DVD players, so I know the aiff files *are* on there.

I was hoping to maybe use Disk Utility to rip an exact copy onto my hard drive, but when I try to create a "new image" from the Disk Utility program, it asks me to select a location to put it, and once I try to start it, it immediately gives an error, "Unable to create 'disk2s0.dmg'-Input/output error."

I know the files are on the disc, so how can I get them from the disc to the computer, in such a way that the computer can see them?

I'm using:
Powermac G4 (MDD), dual 1GHz
2GB DDR SDRAM
Edit: OSX 10.4.11

What happens if you open the cd i iTunes?

iTunes doesn't even recognize that there's a CD in the drive.

it's probably because the aiff files aren't exactly on the disc, it's a trick done by OSX and the finder to make it easier to rip the music track.

because your cd has a genuine data session on there, that is what gets displayed instead of the 'virtual' aiff files, i used to have a plug-in for windows which did the exact same thing only using .wav files

Try opening disk utility and see if there are any other volumes on the CD that it'll let you mount. If there are none there, try unmounting the CD volume through disk utility and see if any other volume shows up.

There're no other volumes to mount, and when I unmount the CD, it disappears, nothing else shows up.

For more information, the CD in disk utility displays like this:

When I clink "info" with the "669.7 MB Untitled 0" disc icon highlighted, it says:
