Does it repeat the problem?  I mean, if you put the "bad" cd back
in, is it still unreadable, i.e.  bad then good then bad?  This would
not happen if it were, say, a loose connection to the cd player, and
would eliminate that possibility.  ( I would suspect that the cd player
might be going slightly out of spec, so that it has trouble reading
some discs, but I am not an expert on this subject to be trusted.)
