I've seen this problem with a "CyberDrv" CD-RW in a COMPAQ. It had another problem after that. A round piece of steel like a washer in the middle of the plastic part the CD spins on came loose, and that was keeping the CD from being held by the magnet at the top of the drive cover. I used superglue on it, and could get it to play CD's again, but it would currupt digital data horribly.

I'd say they should do a study, and should make it legal to share files with the equivelent quality of an average 64kbps, 22khz, joint stereo MP3.
