CD Player Won't Read One CD Only

So, I have an original MF Nu Vista 3D CD player (bought new in 2003), and it has worked flawlessly. Yesterday, I wanted to play a CD (Disc 1 from Grateful Dead Road Trips, Summer '71), and the player won't read the disc. It just keeps whirring and then reads "No Disc." I tried the disc in the car and the computer and it plays fine. I've subsequently played a bunch of other discs in the MF and there's no problem. So, is the player starting to go and, if so, what can be done about it? Or, is it just this one disc since everything else has and continues to play without a hitch? Thanks for your advice.

Very odd indeed- rlb61

try burning a CD-r copy and attempt to play that disc in your MF player.

I wonder if the disc is a manufacturer defect or watermark?

@jafant ... Good idea! Thanks. Although, if it were a mfg defect, I don't think it would have worked in the car and the computer.

I sure hope that the laser within the MF player is not on its way out?

Keep me posted.

@jafant "try burning a CD-r copy and attempt to play that disc in your MF player."

+1. Perfect advice.

@rlb61 because you don’t have an issue with any other disc, I can assure you there’s nothing wrong with your laser, and nothing to worry about. It’s just one of those things with this particular disc...

I would recommend cleaning the disc and trying it again.
