I would have thought the only way a CD could damage a player is by acting as
a carrier for some material that gets into the workings or damages the
laser.

Actually I wonder if your friends CD transport knackered itself out trying
to read the disc, but it would have to have been near the end of it's life
anyway. Or sheer coincidence?

A mate of mine says his CD player has packed up and blames a faulty
CD-R given to him by a mutual friend. The same friend has given me
lots of CDs, and many of these suffer from skipping/jumping/noise. I
suspect it's because our friend uses the cheapest available blanks.

I'm concerned because I've just spent a lot of money on a CA Azur
player and don't want to put it at risk. Is my mate talking nonsense?
Any thoughts?
