Very recently it stopped playing Audio CDs, as far as I can see they aren't mounted. When I press the eject on my keyboard nothing happens, the discs aren't in finder or the desktop. I end up having to use a paperclip to get the manual eject button. Today I got a little sick of the iMac (Wishing I had bought a 1.25or soGHZ eMac.
