ATM Disc slot for Macs and scratching
Posted by Junior Wells on 9 January 2012 - 3:35am.
I have done this to quite a few discs - annoyingly some being played for the first time while loading onto itunes.
The side slot of a mac seems to have been cut out so the sides are really really sharp. If I put a disc in that is not geometrically perfectly perpendicular I get a few scratches , same spot on every dic rendering the disc playable but with skips.
I've considered getting some emery paper and smoothing the sides but iron filings and laser burners doesn't seem like a good idea.

a PC?
It's an Apple conspiracy
to make you buy all your music from iTunes.
This can't be a new problem though--can't you get a replacement or get Apple to fix it?
I agree
I know what you mean about the sharp edges, but on mine, there is no risk of scratching the discs unless I was *really* clumsy inserting them at odd angles. There is some kind of a brush slot thing just inside that holds the disc on the way in and keeps it away from the edges. Sounds like yours is not working. Go shout at Apple, they have great customer service.
think I will
i got on a forum and one bloke from the US of A was ranting about it saying how sharp the edges were and had an identical problem
no one else seems to have the problem though
thanks
