Well before reading all your responses on line, I transferred the CD to iTunes (lossless) and then burned a CD-R. Popped it into the BCD, it recognized the CD, and it played.
Mr. Tanner hit the nail on the head. Why? It just does. A mystery of life! Then I put the original ArkivMusic CD back in the BCD........and it recognized it!!! But when I hit Play, nothing. Selected track 2, it sort of played, but almost sounded like it was skipping?!?
Long story short I'm listening to my burned copy. It works. Thanks to all for you sage advise.
