Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.

Why would 2 specific music cds just purchased on amazon, play on a boom box and not the iMac? Other cds, commercial or burned, do play on the iMac.

Is your boom box a slot or tray loader?

It's possible the Amazon cds are damaged, scratched, etc. in some way. Did you clean the superdrive as previously suggested and/or tried all the other suggestions? If so, you can return the cds.

I ordered a disc cleaner, so we'll see. Don't make sense though that the cd is defective if it plays on one machine and not another
thx, Boomer, will let you know!
