If other CDs are working fine then the disc is probably either protected or
pressed badly. I have a few unprotected CDs that refuse to read on some of
my drives but work fine on others.

If you run Windows and have CD autorun enabled, some protected CDs will
automatically and silently install device drivers that block access to the
audio data on that particular CD. These drivers are probably made difficult
to remove. Other discs are formatted in such a way that they confuse the
hardware on certain drives and appear unreadable.

Take a look at

http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd protections.shtml

It has a lot of information on copy protection methods used on various types
of disc.

If you want to be proactive about it, take the disc back and demand a refund
or an unprotected replacement. Quite a few companies, including majors like
Sony, are abandoning protected audio CDs because of customer protests.
