I would start over again.. maybe it froze.. take the disc out and put it back in and start re-ripping the cd into itunes... To get the disc out first you will have to turn the computer off and hold down your mouse button (if its not blue tooth) while booting up and the disc will come out.

Alright, it took a while for the mac to reboot, but when it did I ejected the cd.
Now should I try a different cd? Or should I just wait till tomorrow a take it to my local apple store?

Edit: BTW thank you very much powerbook g4

That's happened to me a couple times. It's always been a scratched CD and it gets hung on a damaged track and freezes iTunes. Usually I'm able to force quit and eject the CD.

Either right click the dock icon of the program or press command+option+escape (the Mac equivalent of ctrl+alt+delete).
