I had one CD-R goof up on me last summer. My home stereo wouldn't play it. The "reading CD" light kept flashing. But my DVD drive in my living room played all but the first track perfectly. I started with track 1, and the DVD player just skipped to track 2. The home stereo just wouldn't play it at all.

Some of the newer stuff just skips errors on disks other just will not play it.
Also some of the older stuff plays things that the newer will not because they have not got copy protection build in because what it is playing did not exist when manufactured. For example my friend's DVD player will not play CDRs but it will play DVD-Rs. I suspect they built in copy protection for CDs but not DVDs because at the time hardly anyone had a DVD recorder.
