Default 2003 BA Falcon Premium Sound issues.

Hey guys, my XR8 has recently started not liking to read certain CD's, i.e tries to read for 15ish seconds then spits the CD out..

They are all in excellent condition and it has played them all before, is the CD Reader getting "Dirty" like a DVD player can do?

Is so, how do i clean it?

If this isn't the issue, any ideas on what is?
