It's definitely easier to break than software! I've been leaning towards the drive problem theory myself. I can't rip the last track on too many of my CD's (Classical, Rock, etc. even audio CDs I've had people burn for me) for it to be something with the type of music/production company. I'll be able to test this soon since I'll be getting a CD-burner tomorrow (I was supposed to have it today but UPS messed up). I'm curious to see if I can rip some of those tracks with the new drive.
