[CUBE] the desperate plea thing........

[A.M.]

I've seen this before- even with iTunes. If the CD is damaged or 
scratched at all it can cause the system to hang while it tries to 
mount (or so I assume). I've mostly seen this on the iBooks though. Is 
there any good way to clean out the slot-loading cube drive? I can 
imagine plenty of dust finds its way in there.
