"Why can disk drives read what player drives cannot?"

It is not quite as simple as disk drives versus player drives. Given a defective disk (most likely these are disk problems), some drives will work and others will not.

But the big reason is the copying software. A program like Exact Audio Copy will try reading bits multiple times, and I would assume other programs use similar methods. If the disk is too messed up, a copy will also fail, but in general EAC or the equivalent will do a better job of pulling bits from a disk than simple CD playing software.
