Why will my cd player only play certain cd's?

Does anybody know why my cd player will only play certain cd's? With most cd's it fails to calculate the total number of tracks. It just keeps spinning the disc without actually playing it and I'm unable to stop the spinning by using the stop buttom. There are a select few cd's where it will calculate the total number of tracks and I can then play the entire disc without any problems. Thanks.

My guess is the laser assembly

lornoah	Thanks for responding to my post. I have a lens that fits this player but I'm wondering what's involved in replacing it? Does the entire tray have to come out? There's a ribbon cable attached to the mechanism which makes me worry over doing it myself. I tried cleaning the lens but with no luck. Any input appreciated. Thanks Greg
