The drive works fine for data and if I am loading software.

Music CDs and movie DVDs both have the same issues, skippy, crackly sound, like the theing is not reading or like a disc is defective.

I have the Dell default media player and Cyberlink DVD (which is the preferred player for movies) and both have the same issues.

I will get a drive cleaner and try this out. I can't imagine it's dirty as I do not use it all that much. The likelyhood of cat hair in there somewhere is not outside the realm of possibility, either.

Thanks Moonie.
