   My thought, as well. You might try:

   1) Gently dusting the CD -- in straight motions from the inside hole
      to the outside edge of the CD, rather than circularly - with a
      lens/eyeglass cleaning cloth. This can remove seemingly small
      debris that can impede reading of parts of the CD.

   2) Using a different set of media. We likely have a set we can
      lend to you, if need be.
