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.
