CD read problem - New Clapton & others ???

I have recently come accross a cd that seems to not always "read" in the cd player. I was under the impression it was due to the "enhanced" format. That cd was the new Josh Groban.

I have been making certain to stay clear of any "enhanced" cd formats etc.

Tonight I picked up Eric Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson" cd. It too causes trouble being read by the cd player. I have not inserted the cd into the computer, but nowhere on the case does it state "enhanced" or media bonus, etc.

Is anyone else having read issues with these or other cds that are currently being manufactured?

FYI - player is Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP (approx 3 months old) and I own and have played several hundred cds, these are the only two to give problems, both purchased from Barnes & Noble in the last month. Thanks for any info

Hepl,

Thanks for the info. Do you notice the orbital cd cleaning machine to help with other recordings or sonics?

I have never cleaned cd's in the past other than with warm water, mild soap solution, and a soft cotton cloth to dry. Recently I have purchased and used Record Research Lab Shine-O-La for cd cleaning.

Other than those two cd's I can't figure it out.

I also purchased the new Diana Krall which IS enhanced and does play flawlessly.
