[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 996067, member: 8287"] Sounds like the CD/DVD drive might be getting old. Are the Audio CD's pressed factory or burned? Reason I ask is when a Optical drive is starting to die it's usually burned media that seems to have issues first. Since it reads 10.4 which I am sure is a DVD if it's just one disc, that is a pressed DVD and not like burned media. It might need a new Optical drive. You might check OWC and see if they have a replacement as the 1 Ghz Round iMacs probably use a non standard drive.
