Windows 10: Playing a CD

I have ripped two CD's using a LG portable writer. One of the CD's plays but one does not. I do not remember if I ripped the two CD's in a different way (I'm in my 80's so excuse my memory banks) Should I finalise the one that will not play (although I didn't do it on other CD) or is there anything else I can do. The CD keeps ejecting.

Hoping you can help.

CD plays one disc incorrectly

For us to isolate the issue, we would like to clarify if you were referring to another computer when you said
"The CD plays fine elsewhere so it is OK." on your first post. If so, is it both running Windows 10 version?

To identify the exact reason why the issue is happening, we suggest playing the disc manually using the steps below:

• Type File Explorer on Cortana/Search bar, then click it.
  
• On the File Explorer window, click This PC.
• Right-click on the CD drive then, click Open.
  
  
• The music files will show up, choose a certain music to play.

Let us know if the music will respond accordingly.
