DVDs and CDs are read by different "lasers" in the optical drive, so my only suggestion would be to try some completely different CDs (such as home-burned ones for example, or non-music CDs).

If you continue to see the problem, a "CD cleaning disk" or a shot or two (JUST a shot or two!) of compressed air may help. Otherwise, you may need to see a tech about this.
