Does your CD player not play all the way to the end of the album?

  Yes I did on my old Denon 1520.Pat Metheny Secret Story would not start up or play at the end.I bought 3 CD's thinking the CD's were defective until my brother said it's the CD player couldn't read that long.I switched over to one of my Alesis Masterlinks as CD player and no problem.

I've never had that issue with any of the 20+ CD players I've owned over the last 35 years. Never had the issue with any of the 1000+ CD's I've owned either. Cleaning and re-distributing the lubricant on the sled rails, as suggested by Elizabeth, would be a good place to start with your troubleshooting.

CD player? What is that?

Elizabeth7, i can understand that issue on my older CD player, but the Marantz isn't a month old and still does it. I agree it must be a mechanical issue though.

I couldn't even get my albums to fit into my CD player much less get to the end. 

Tanks solx2, I needed that......
Yes, elizabeth7, they are longer cds. The odd thing is I have an older Samsung Blu Ray player that doesn't have any problems with them at all.

i have used a cd disc cleaner and it worked.I dont buy alot of used cds.

@peporter -- The laser assembly that reads the CD data usually slides back and forth on a rail system, powered by a small motor. It could be that the lubrication of the rails has dried up or become dirty and is sticking at the point where laser has trouble reading the CD. Might be worth taking the lid off the player and seeing if it is something as simple as that. 

Otherwise, laser assemblies do deteriorate and fail with age, or can go out of alignment. Those would need professional service to fix. 

Well I do but don't play ones that look lousy...
