ive had that problem. its hard to explain, but it seems more prone to do that if the cd is scratched or burned. a store bought wont usually do it.

I think its just a hardware bug where the drive doesnt know that it doesnt need to spin up anymore, and it just never turns off. I've been able to use the eject button and the disc was still spinning in the tray.

You can use the emergency eject if you really want to get it out instantly. use a paperclip,

I just ended up getting a new drive, they are dirt cheap, and you can get a dvd rom for what 50 bucks? worth it.
