Sony DRU-810A DOES NOT PLAY CD's With iTunes

I bought a sony external drive and iTunes does not play the songs. I can see the title of the song but when I go to play all it does is run through the song list and will not play anything. Same things when I go to burn CD's to my computer, all it burns is the a small file for each song that does not contain any music information. Here is the CD diag information

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

OK the CD diag says that it is a DRU-810A but on the box it says that it is a sony DRX-810UL and that model number is also on the side of the rive.


that does seem a little odd, Vincent ...

is it just itunes that is confused? check to see what your PC thinks. Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click on your device manager. expand the optical drives entry. what model number is listed there?

love, b

I have a Sony DRX-800UL with the same problem. Here's some more info.
When using USB and iTunes I experience the same problems you described.
When using firewire and iTunes everything is fine, although the rip speeds seem very low to me given its a 52x drive
When using USB and Widows Media player it rips fine.

Can anyone out there help??
Thanks
