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.

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.

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!

would you have an extra or spare GD Dick's / Dave's picks CD sets for sale? You can PM me if you wish.
Happy Listening!
@jafant ... Sorry, but I have no duplicates or spares. If you want really good GD '74, I recommend the GD Movie Soundtrack ... 5 discs of great performances (except of course for Donna), for about $30 on Amazon.
