Is it a particularly wonderful player? The current sub-£100 Sonys are

Not really - but in mint condition, and playing most of my CD collection
perfectly, it still seems to good to scrap.

Failing to play some CDs doesn't strike me as a definition of "mint
condition", unless you're just referring to an unmarked case :-)

These things do wear out. Perhaps the laser is just getting weak.

May well be so - I don't expect it to last forever either.

But then again, it only skips when playing new CDs. Copy protection and
loss of sound quality has been discussed in another thread. Since I
managed to copy one of the skipping disks, that disk was presumably not
copy protected.

Are modern Audio CDs manufactured to different quality standards than
previously?
