iTunes 4 won't play/import the first song on my CDRs!
This doesn't happen with every CDR...but it does on most of them. I pop in the CDR with, say, 15 tracks on it. As long as I don't try to play or import the first track, all is well. But if I try to import it, nothing happens...and then I get the dreaded spinning color wheel, and I can't even force quit. I have to hit the restart button. This doesn't happen with regular, store-bought CDs. Anyone know what is going on here?

It could be either scratched, the skin could be flaking off, or the skin may simply be wearing out. A recent study showed that some CDs have a shelf life of less than 2 years now.

It definitely sounds like your CD is damaged somehow.

But this happens with almost every CDR I have...all of them no more than a month or two old, for that matter. We're talking 25-30 different CDRs, same result every time.

are all the CDRs from the same batch? there could be a defect that's affecting the start of the disc on them all.
what are you using for the burning? that could be a factor as well.
