Hi Alex, No, they were all just Audio CDs bought from the shop!
I'm hoping it's not a drive problem, it feels like it's more to do with the process though - in each case the CD is initially recognised, the track data is successfully imported from gracenotes CDDB and I am asked if I want to import the CD - so no disc/drive problem to that point. Then either hitting the yes button just works - or I have to use disc utility to mount the CD (which is still showing up- just as unmounted). Again, in every case, the re-mounted CD just imports fine. Ah well, in time, we will see if Ronni's suggestion has fixed the problem. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
