Horrible noise while burning a cd
New iMac 20". Sometimes it makes the horrible loud growl while burning a cd. It was so bad yesterday I just cancelled the burn. DVDs don't seem to make any noise. I am going to try a different brand of cd to make sure it isn't just the particular brand that is causing a problem. Anyone else have issues like this? Also, if I need to take it in to the Apple Store, what exactly do I take? Just the power cord?

If the racket keeps up even with bigger named CDs, take the machine in. The iMac and power cord should do the trick.
Also, sorry I thought I was in the Genius Bar when I posted this. Any mod please move to appropriate place.
Understood on the car stereo. It would be nice if all makes worked well with all brands, but it simply isn't the case. I sometimes had to burn my student CDs on different brands for those kids whose players couldn't read the original. A very time consuming endeavor, but fortunately at work I had the use of a duplicator tthat made things rather easy for bulk jobs.
Good luck.
I also have a 20" iMac at work and this week put it through its paces burning 30 full length CDs and 30 hour long DVDs, all TDK. No noise whatsoever.
