Blank Audio CDs not working

Yakuza70 · Nov 27, 2008

I have an Intel iMac I purchased this past summer. When I insert blank CD-Rs into the drive to burn audio CDs from iTunes to listen to in my car, I can hear the drive reading the CD-R for about 20 seconds then it spits the disc back out. I've burned audio CDs before but it was when I first got my machine. Game DVDs work fine but blank CD-Rs just get rejected. Could it be the brand of CD-Rs I'm using (silver Memorex) or something more serious? Thought? Ideas?

Maybe you;

- burnt the disc as a data disk rather than an audio disk
- forgot to finalise the disk session

For what it's worth, I had similar problems and it turned out to be the brand of disk I was using. Hope this is a simple solution to your problem.

Try a different brand of media. Never made a coaster from Verbatim (touches wood)!
