I've just bought a 40GB Ipod - downloaded the latest version of itunes, put about four or five albums on my ipod...

then, Ive put another CD in (Athlete - Vehicles and Animals) and itunes wont recognise it?

The disk contains "copy control technology" - could this have anything to do with it?

is there any way I can force itunes to grab the tracks off the CD?
Sounds like the CD is copy-protected. Read through this thread for more info on this topic:
'Copy protected' - don't always believe the label (http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4032)

Different CD drives read Copy Protection schemes differentely. The only problem I've ever had was importing "Parachutes" by Coldplay - other than that, no matter what kind of protection scheme my CD's supposedly had, my CD drive ripped them fine.

i had the same problem for a while & then it suddenly fixed itself. for a more permanent solution i'd suggest you download a freeware ripper like audiograbber plus an mp3 encoder (eg. lame). this seems to get around copy protection ok although you might have to label some of the tracks manually. i get the impression that copy control is mainly seen in the uk on cds bought on the web (play, cd wow etc) who source their discs from hong kong way.
enjoy...
