That figures.

It's not a trick, it's the only correct way to use audiofiles from a CD or any 
other readonly medium. :o)

As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with Logic, the file got corrupted 
while being copied to the harddisk (or, if you're unlucky, when it was burnt 
onto the CD). Once it's copied, to Logic it's the same file as any other on 
your harddisk.

Is it an audio-cd or a data-cd? If it's audio you could try to import it with 
itunes (switching on errorchecking and of course choosing AIF as import 
format, not mp3).
