Following on from TheBS's points...

Another thing that can make a difference is the color of the CD.
Seriously.  This is generally only an issue with CD-R and CD-RW, but I
have seen cases where a drive would flat refuse to read media of
certain colors.  Weak lasers can have issues with the lower
reflectivity of some colors.
