If you are using a laptop, there should be a small pin-sized hole near the switch of the opening device... you can use simply a paper-clip to open this up. Before you do so, shut down your computer for safety reasons... never stick anything into a live computer. When you put the paper-clip into the CD Drive, press down a bit and pull the paper-clip towards you. This should release the lock and open the CD Drive. Good luck!

My CD drive won't open as if there is something stuck in it but the CD already in their still spins what is wrong?

Make sure the computer is off, then straighten a paper clip. There should be a small hole somewhere on the face of the CD drive. If you push the straightened paperclip into the hole you should feel spring resistance. Push the paperclip straight in until you open the drive. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.

How do you play a CD on a mac?

If your Mac has a built-in CD/DVD drive (i.e. is not a Macbook Air), then a CD may be played by inserting the disc into the drive. If iTunes is installed, it should automatically open, unless you have changed the default settings. If you have changed the default settings, then you must open iTunes or any other media player that you use, which should then detect the CD, after which you may select the CD and choose which track to begin playback on.
