I have a Yamaha CD (CDC-585) player that can't be more than 6 years

Today it took longer than usual to read a couple of discs and then
started playing them from the middle of the disk!
These discs once played fine on my player and yes, the disc plays fine
on another player.

Does this mean my CD player will soon stop functioning?

I dunno, take it a technician and ask him to check it out.

If it's six years old, it's more than overdue for a cleaning and lubrication
of the rails, plus current adjustment of the laser and (depending on the
machine) various tracking adjustments.

What does something like that cost? The unit was under $175 originally.

It probably costs about as much as the CD player does. This is the
basic issue with consumer electronics: they are cheaper to replace than
to repair, therefore manufacturers no longer have much interest in making
them easy to repair or providing service support.

I live in the NYC area, anyone know where I can bring it?

Not offhand. Do you still have a neighborhood TV repair? That's where
I would start.
