it took a long time to figure this out
if you have an imac take note

lots of problems when burning cds and dvds
audio cds were the biggest problem as the burned discs would have
problems midway into the cd

dvds also had problems some would just not read

turns out that the aluminum slot in the side of the imac is not well
deburred during manufacture so unless you insert and remove the disc
with surgical precision you get a big scratch on the business side
of the disc

this was really puzzling and made the more so due to the problem
not always rearing its ugly head

some cd players just had a little problem and went right along
but older players with less forgiving hard/firm ware just would
not continue

also still checking the itunes library as cds may have had scratches
introduced when importing them

had to go back and check data dvds and that was a PITA for someone
