I think I found sort of makeshift solution to problem described above. I copied the original to a generic cd-r. Plays fine, the copy of course. Shame, you spend money on legitimate disks only to have to copy it to be able to listen to them...

Hi all, Today I decided to play Wynton Marsalis 'Live at the house of tribes'. To my surprise, every now and then I was getting cracks as if it was a vinyl not a cd playing. Thought maybe dirt but no, tried through a different player (Yamaha DVD) and it's fine. I checked few other cds and they...
