I recently tried to rip an "enhanced" CD (Andrea Bocelli - Sentimento) in iTunes, but it didn't see the CD since it mounted as a data CD and wanted to show me the content through a controlled player. However, I discovered that I could go into Disk Utility and mount just the Audio CD part of the CD, and iTunes saw it instantly and could rip it ...

  1. Insert CD
  2. Open Disk Utility
  3. Select the greyed-out "Audio CD" line item within your CD drive
  4. Click Mount in the Disk Utility toolbar
  5. That's it; now you can burn away.
  6. Select your CD drive and click Eject to finish.
If you're doing multiple disks, you probably need to quit Disk Utility each time.
