That all depends on the player.
I has a SONY car changer for a decade or so. It was made in the 90's.
It played everything near perfectly. Seriously. I took scotch brite to a promo disc once, and it still played, the only difference being about a 2x buffer time to get started and a bit more sensitivity to road bumps.
I have never owned anything as good.
It played discs I could not rip a track from.
In my view, and based on that experience, the format was way more robust than most of us experienced in practice.
Cost cutting on the error correction and laser handling had a negative impact on overall robustness to a fault.
That SONY was so good, I could go to the street market and buy discs a few for a buck and nearly all of them played well. I got asked how I was playing them regularly by the vendors selling me a lot of cheap, too scratched to work discs.
