I've had no problems at all with the new version of iTunes (5.0?), so I'm guessing it's either a preference not set correctly, you don't have the latest version of OS X and/or QuickTime, or your CD drive is dying. That last one happened to me a while back with my old tray-loader 333. It would play store-bought CDs, but no longer would play or read burned CDs. At first it was just a few discs that didn't work, but it got steadily worse over time to the point the drive barely worked at all. At first I thought it was the discs, but then most all of them would work fine on my external USB CD burner. I have since gotten a newer iMac (Snow 500). One other thing - some burned CDs just quit working. Period. Something called "laser rot" I believe. In other words, sometimes playing them in an older CD player can damage them because the laser is too strong and ruins them. Just my personal experiences. Your mileage may vary.
