I suspect this is similar to an issue I ran into a couple years ago when
iTunes used to be known as that Cassidy and Green product. In short, I
could not rip audio from drives that were not apple blessed. I came to
the conclusion that it may be an issue with CDRom Toolkit. Every other
driver I could find would not allow me to rip audio either. I tried doing
the regedit hack to open up the apple cdrom driver too. I tried this
across several flavors of drives, some of which I knew would rip fine when
hooked to a PC.
At a later date I installed linux on a PowerMac and used one of those
cdrom drives and could rip audio from the non-apple drive under linux
without issue.
