CD drive vibrates on some disks


I'am loading all my CD's to an external HD using an external disk drive to my laptop. On some CD's the drive will grind and shake. Any idea how to avoid this? Is the hole off center on the CD? Will it affect the loading at all? Sometimes it seems as if the drive will shake itself to pieces.
Thanks in advance,
JD

Probably offcenter or some disc imperfection.

Sometimes you can limit vibes by applying pressure with your hands. Try that while ripping. Limiting vibes may help rips go faster. Rip it once as best as possible and be done with it.

Ifit happens regularly with a lot of cds could be a problem with the drive.
