Yes, but the player is the problem, not the discs. Any player more than 1
year old, or even newer in some situations, can have cleaning or other
problems sufficient to cause problems playing ANY disc. CD-R's have around
3/4 the reflectivity of a factory made disc, hence their reputation in this
area.
Also, some burners produce out-of-spec discs. This can also cause problems.
Like I said, properly functioning player, properly burned disc = no problem
playing.

P.S.

I was, of course, referring to CD and CD-ROM players, not DVD players,
some
of which use red lasers.



and modern equipment I presume.

I've read of folks not having CD-R recordings work in car players, older
CD players, etc.
