CD Player Won't Read One CD Only

@jafant ... My favorite period is GD ’71-74. The only downside is that they had Donna during some of that period ... the band needed her like Jerry needed more sugar in his diet. The new PNW discs are very cool. However, I bought the 3 CD sampler set because I think it’s the best value: it provides approximately 85-90% of the highlights from the $189 19 disc box, including the 46 minute PITB, all for $25. I just can’t justify the cost of the entire box set. Plus, I am so far behind in my GD listening, that another 19 discs would be way "too hard to handle." :-) Thanks again for the burning suggestion.

I have a 24 year old CDR (one of about a dozen that old) in my car right now, that still plays fine on both my PC's DVD burners and my ancient Sony lazy susan player, and it played fine on my old laptop. It does play on my car's stereo ONCE. When it gets to the end, it just sits there and thinks for a long time and then says "error". If I elect it, and reload it, it plays again. I've copied and actually made another CD out of the same individual cuts off other CD's, and it does the same thing, regardless of the track order when I burn it. I'm guessing that one of the tracks is corrupted on the original, but I don't understand why changing the track order makes no difference. I solved the issue by copying the CDR to my stereo's hard drive, where the same tracks play without issues. Weird.

Hey Now! rlb61
I do not have much in the way of 1974 GD. I love that wall-of-sound concept and must get caught up with those releases as well. There could never be too much GD, IMO. Good to read that your disc is playing well.
Happy Listening!

2010challengercodec(s) are weird in general, specifically, digital / optic variations. Interesting that a slight difference in a 1 or 0, can throw the whole disc off?
Happy Listening!
