Defective CD?

Posted: 11/6/07 at 6:42pm

I've been playing the Lansbury recording of GYPSY in my car quite a bit lately. Recently I popped it into my player and it wouldn't scan, so it just popped out. I tried it several times at different intervals. My other CD's--both newer and older ones--play without any difficulty.

Has anyone had this sort of problem with their CD's?

Yeah, I did with my Original Broadway Cast Album of HELLO DOLLY.
I got so frustrated that I just popped in the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album instead.

j/k.... I couldn't resist.

I had this problem with Passion when I first got it. I just exchanged it because I never got it to play. So, not really the same thing, but there ya go.

Several people PM'd me with suggestions that:

a) the CD should be cleaned

and

b) the player needs cleaning.

Will try both.

Many thanks.

Those saying to clean are correct---if it has been playing, and other cds play okay, it is probably the cd itself.

CDs are played by a beam of light- anything that would interfere with light can cause it to skip. Wipe down the Cd with a clean cotton rag- and a spritz of cleaner if you have it. Many CD players that have an opening you slide discs into get crap in there too- I find the best cleaner is one of those "canned air" things you get at camera or computer stores. Poke the nozzle into the player and give it a shpritz.

I worked at Tower for many years- the major labels did at one point declare that the actual "Defect rate" was minuscule- less than one in a thousand. They then began to not accept defective CDs in returns from their customers. They gave stores a credit that equaled about .0001% of their purchase price, convinced that would cover all consumer return costs.

I think a detective cross dresser would be fabulous! Can he be dressed as Angie D?
