You might also try using an older external cd drive. Some newer drives are quirky as to what they will play...I have had trouble playing the +R or -R CDs with some players as well. If you are like me, the cd is probably in a case and hasn't been played much over the years, so it isn't a matter if it being scratched.

is there anyway to recover mp3s from CDs made in 2002: the<br>
files seem to be intact but they won't play or even copy...<br>
(14 years isn't much of a shelf-life) appreciate any ideas<br>
