To be honest, the symptoms you describe sounds more like a bad CD than
anything to do with Linux itself.  This is based on you needing to copy the
files to play them in Windows.  There are likely bad "sectors" that re
recoverable with multiple reads and error correction.  That would explain it
not working in the Windows and Linux media players.

Just a thought.

Robert.
