MacBook Pro not recognising EAC burnt audio cds

Question

Hi, I have been searching all day over forums and google trying to solve this problem but had no luck.
Using the EAC burning guide from the Wiki articles I burnt several audio CDs on my windows vista laptop. Everything seemed to go fine in the burning process. All the CDs work fine with all my cd players as well as my slightly old iMac and other Windows computers. However, when I insert the CDs into my MacBook Pro they are recognised as blank CDs. The strange thing is, is that my MacBook Pro will recognise consumer CDs from the shops without any hassle.
I've tried two different disks (maxwell cd-r and a blank non-branded cd-r) so I think we can eliminate any media problems.
It could be a problem with the burning process but then why would it work on all of those other platforms including another Mac?
I have tried re-installing older versions of iTunes, same result. My MacBook Pro is currently up-to-date too. Also to add that I have made audio CDs on this MacBook Pro using both Toast and WaveBurner that play fine.
Does anyone have any ideas, I think it is likely to be a problem with my MacBook Pro settings but would not know where to start?

Answer 1

The brands that have worked well with all my Macs are:   
//   ( – Sadly, they all have Matsushita drives – )
> Memorex Black Label (the color dye is black)
> Kodak Gold
> FujiFilm ( "made in Japan" , the ones made in Taiwan don't seem to have the same build)
> TDK Armor Plated
> Verbatim DataLifePlus
80% of the time I get the TDK brand... I haven't had any problems with Phillips and Sony either...
