What version of Windows are you running. Try copying the music cd to a temporary location on your hard drive. If it copys relatively quickly, your drive is functioning absolutely fine. If it takes 30 minutes or so, the likelyhood is the IDE device is not working up to spec. If it takes forever to copy, try updating your motherboards IDE drivers.
If you get errors while copying, it could be IDE drivers, or a faulty drive.
If all data copies, relatively fast, check/update your sound card drivers.
If all the above fail, sing...
