- In the last year or two that I've been collecting compact discs, this is
- the second time this has happened.
-
- I put a CD, which had worked properly in the past, into my player and
- there was an unusually long pause (during the time when my player
- normally reads the track information). Then, when I tried to play the
- disc, the player said, "PLAY", for a few seconds, then stopped. When I
- played with the display (which normally tells me the number of tracks
- and total length of the CD), all the player showed were a bunch of
- zeroes, so I assume the player failed to read the disc's tracking
- information.
-
- I intend to return the disc and get a new one, as I did when this
- happened to another disc months ago, but I am wondering if anyone else
- has experienced this problem with CDs.
-
- Would anyone like to say what (might) cause this?
