Hey, just bought a new comp, a macbook, trying to install the Session Drums discs, but they won't be read apparently... I just hear a clicking noise and then it spits it out eventually...no error message or anything... anyone know of any ideas? This is my first mac, so I'm confused as heck.

I had big problems reading all discs in the Live 7 suite on my PC, a laptop.

Turns out the center holes in the discs are just a wee bit too small to fit nicely on the center "tap" or "hub" that most laptop cd-drives have.

I managed to get them into place by manually supporting the disc tray from underneath (in order not to break it!), while pressing the disc tightly from above, working my way around the disc's center hole. I had to be quite careful when removing the discs too.

Sloppy manufacturing obviously!

Hope it helps
