Hi,
It does sound like some kind of protection system. I'm not sure what method
of protection would give this but I'm guessing it may be something called
multi-session disc.
I wouldn't know how to brake this protection but you could use a regular cd
player with a sound card to record the tracks as wave or mp3 to your pc by
connecting the output of your cd player to the input of your sound card and
use an audio recorder program like audasity or sound forge.

Subject: CD Problem
Hello
A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called
ClassicJazz from Time Life. I’ve played them often on a CD player in the
room I keep my PC. That has now been removed and all music is played on my
pC with the surround sound it’s hooked into. I decided to load all my
music onto an external hard drive and get rid of the discs. I found these
jazz discs will not load into the PC player. Going to My Computer the CD
drive shows as empty. The same is true of my wife’s laptop and my son’s PC
and laptop but any player except one connected to a computer will play
them with no problems. I’ve contacted Time Life and find the UK site no
longer exists. Therefore I dealt with the US Company. The ClassicJazz
series is no longer sold. I received a response to my email asking me to
phone them. I replied saying I’m located in the Uk and have heard no more
from them.
I seem to remember Sony brought out an anti copying method which sound
like what I’m experiencing here. I seem to also remember it was said you
could break this protection by rubbing a felt tip pen round the edge of
the disc. I’ve tried this to no avail. I could bring back a CD player into
this room and fit it into the sound system just to play this one set of
discs but I’d much rather have them all on my hard drive. Has anyone any
ideas to help me, please?
Many thanks Roger
