did you try cleaning the drive? does it recognize the cd at all? are you able to read data cds? maybe it is your music playing software (causing the problem)

Sorry to hear this. I have just the opposite problem. I fired up my eMac 700megahertz combo drive, that I recently got repaired from a different problem, and now the DVD drive doesn't work. Tier 2 support at Apple finally decided it had to go back to the shop. Never will I buy another Apple refurbished machine. Been reading too many bad stories about them using inferior replacement parts. My new 1gig eMac works fine. But these were mostly eMac stories.
What machine are you using?
