UPDATE ...IT WORKED!!!!! Burned the screwed up disc to a CD-R and it plays like a charm.
What this tells me is the original disc had a problem (errors) that your MF players error correction couldn’t correct.
And by burning the original disc with I take it with a computer that player/burner had better error correction in it, threw in the 1’s or 0’s that were missing and made it playable for your your MF.
