JennieG -

If the CD in question plays in some players but not in particular ones, it's likely that your PC can read it, since PCs usually are much more tolerant of all the variables. You could copy the tracks off it, do any format conversions that may be necessary to get it "like you usually do," and burn your own new "copy" CD in whatever modes/styles/formats you've used to make other CDs that do play for you - assuming you have a burner in your computer. Or see if a friend wants to mess with it.

It all depends, of course, on how badly (or is that how goodly) you really want that particular CD to play in that particular player.
