I just bought a new CD (Kool and the Gang/Greatest Hits).
Everytime the CD gets to the 8th track at exactly 2:26
it stops and plays that one note over and over. I can
manual fast forward the disk to the next note (2:27).
When this first happened I assumed a bad disk so I brought
it back and exchanged it. The 2nd disk did the same
exact thing in the same place. I brought the disk over
to a friends house and tried it and it worked fine.
This lead me to believe I had a player problem. The
thing is all my other disks work just fine and don't
stop at the same spot (about 39 minutes into the disk).
Any ideas what might be the problem? Disk or player?
Thanks!!!

I basically have had the same problem, altough the fault was not
always at the same spot on a particular disc.
To my knoledge your problem is a disc problem not a player's one.
My player is a 2nd generation player and will not tolerate some
defects that won't bother a 3rd generation player.
The problem with your disc is that the master has a defect, so all
disc pressed to that master have the defect. The only way to get
rid of your problem is to get a copy from an other master. If you
live on the east coast, get a CD from the west coast or from some
other country, where different masters are used. The same thing
occured with the first U2 joshua tree when they first came out in
Canada, a defect at the beginning would show on SOME players but
not all. The disc store should not give you any problem, or else
write to the manufacturer, they should send you a copy from a dif-
ferent master.
The standards on CDs are pretty tight and some manufacturers
won't scrap a newly made batch just because a little dirt got on
the master, as they know 95 to 99% will play fine. They also can't
test everything they make.
By the way what is the label? Just a curiosity..

Thanks for the info. I'll just bring back the CD and get something
else. I'll check tonite to see what label the CD was and get
back to you. Thanks again!
