I have Johnny Cash forever! Or so it seems. I went to digitize American Recordings III and the CD stuck in my PowerBook G4. Using the various eject procedures results in a tiny edge of the CD peeking at me for a fraction of a second then disappearing. On the upside, I can listen to "I won't back down" anytime I want too.

Is there an easy way for me to get the damn thing to eject -- or should I head out to SouthPoint?

Things I've tried:
drag cd to wastebasket
pressing eject botton
holding function and pressing eject button
rebooting
rebooting with trackpad button held down

I believe that the cd is experiencing some kind of resistance and so backs itself back into the player.
