One I can confirm too..

A very old Phillips CD 460 player, WILL play CD/RW OK
My 6 year old Marantz CD52SE , WILL play CD/RW Ok

So I got a new Flashy hyped up Marantz CD63 Mk2 KI signiture
thinking, great, I'll be able to play all my temporary compilations

Wrong... The damn thing wont recognise them at all...

What HAL said about the mechanical accuracy & quality is probably true, you only have to take a look at the construction to see the quality of workmanship in the 10 year old CD's and you can see what they must have cost to produce.. Metal everywhere
todays plastic moulded junk, is so purile, but that the biz for you, make more profit, sell cheaper, never mind the quality jobbo.

Don't think its a conspiracy to charge more, ad CD/RW for PC are so cheap now, compared to the full domestic box, take a look inside and all the wide open empty space?

There will always be the Hi-Fi snobs to satisfy the high price units market, 10,000 bucks for a CD player hm... not me!
