This may not be of much help but it is at least one more 'data point'.
I have problems simmilar with the ones described above - end of CD
tracking failuer - for one or two or so commercial CDs! I never
have this problem with CDs I have burned myself regardless of burn
speed or how long the CD is.

This is with a domestic CD player from Camebridge (says Sony under
the hood).

The CDs that are troublesome to my domestic player plays OK in
my computer.

And then I have one home-burned CD I got from a friend - it is a
real trouble maker when I try to play it in my computer but works
just fine in the domestic player.
