Mac G3 Audio CD Skips, Data fine....

Comment:
I have a client who has a Mac G3 desktop. Whenever an audio CD is played in the drive, it skips. Data CDs are read fine without a problem. Those same audio CDs play just fine in any other computer, including other G3 desktops. My first instincts say clean drive, then replace if that doesn't help. Anyone else have some better insight into this problem?

Remove the Preferences folder from the System Folder and restart. If that fixes it, delete the following files:
AppleCD Audio Player Prefs AppleCD Player Preferences AudioCD Prefs CD/DVD prefs Finder Preferences Mac OS Preferences QuickTime Preferences Sound Preferences
If that doesn't do it, get back to us after cleaning the drive with a CD-ROM cleaning kit.
